My father n law is in stage two of the disease. My mom n law is concerned on the leagalities involved in making major decisions for the household. Signature requiring issues for one. Is there a procedure known of or required , a power of attorney, or something one should get to allow her signature and ONLY her signature to be required on major documents. What does a person do and in what order? There must be alot of red tape involved....what is it?? If you have any lawyer friends that know about these things we would REALLY appreciate it!!!!

You would be well advised to consult a elder care attorney and prepare the necessary documents. If your FIL is still considered competent then he could give POA authority to your MIL both for financial affairs and for medical decisions. If he is no longer competent then he would need to be declared so by the court and a guardenship established.
