Power of attorney
I've been married 14 yrs. My husband is in a rehab center. My step daughter came down and had him sign power of attorney over to her. He was signed incompantant to make decisons 48hrs later. Is this legal? I am his wife.

Re: Power of attorney
It is legal only if he was competant to sign the papers when he actually signed them. While that is possible, it certainly does not sound like it. Ask your step daughter what the heck is going on. Get with the doctors and nurses to see what his condition was the day he signed the papers, then go and see a lawyer.
