He is stealing/fraud, etc. I am sorry you have a lung cancer but consider this your opportunity to stop him. If you have proof (advertisements, bank statements - yours, his), go to the police. Also, call a lawyer to help you with this process. Try www.attorneypages.com (some may be able to offer their service pro bono or can find you someone who can) or try legal aid.
