Re: Engagement Rights for if fiancee is hosptialized
You think you've asked a simple question, but in fact, it is a very complex question.
If his father has power of attorney, then he's in control.
Fiancee's have no legal standing in Texas.
Have you tried to visit him in the hospital?
Of course, if a guardianship lawsuit is opened in court, you can intervene and see if you can get some access to him.
Why not talk to his family and see what they are willing to allow you to do?
Good luck!
