Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Spouse in ICU
My husband is currently in the hospital in the ICU. What rights do I have making any medical decisions since he is unable to speak and is on a respirator? Could I prevent anyone from seeing for his benefit? Please help, thank you.

Re: Spouse in ICU
Unless you have the appropriate health care proxy or Living Will, the doctors will make the decisions. Should you need further guidance, you may contact me. Good luck.
