Hi, thanks for asking from HCM.
Your father in law is most probably having diffuse cerebral atrophy. In cerebral atrophy, brain shrinks in size due to age related degeneration, insult due to head injury. Because of it, frontal and temporal lobes function become below average. These two lobes of brain are related with normal behaviour, personality.
Less likely it can be due to Alzheimer disease.
You should consult neurologist to confirm the cause.
Thanks. Take care
