<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

My mother-in-law inherited ~$2MM in paintings 25 years ago. With the incremental proceeds from sale of most of those paintings, a deceased husbands pension, and now social security, she raised 5 kids on her own and now lives what I would call an expensive, but not extravagant lifestyle on her own ($100-150k per year). 

The paintings are running out, there are complex issues and claims against the estate that holds the paintings (she never closed the estate), and she is almost always "out of money." Recently a probate attorney became involved and is trying to sort through this mess.

Mother-in-law misses credit card payments, carries a balance, occasionally pays rent late, has no retirement account, and it seems that every time a painting is sold, the proceeds are already spent.

Net of things, some of the brothers and I are working on helping her put together a plan that will alleviate the continual financial stress, and keep her from landing on my couch when the money runs out. 

Is a fee based Certified Financial Planner paired with the probate attorney the right kind of professional team to help with this? Does anyone know a patient, experienced, preferably old, extremely patient, and patient, Certified Financial Planner in the Los Angles area?
