My father who lacks the capacity to make his own decisions and has turned his financial responsibilities/POA over to his caregiver.

Answered 6 years and 7 months ago by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett   |   1 Answer
You might want to discuss elder exploitation with a local elder lawyer.  Your description indicates no reason why you should not be named on a HIPAA Medical Information Release, which would allow you to receive medical information about your father, or Medical Power of Attorney, which would allow you to speak for him when he cannot communicate, or Durable Power of Attorney, which in these days of online banking does not require physical presence to transfer funds.  But maybe your dad has his reasons, reasonable or not.  You can use the Find a Lawyer function on the website of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (www.naela.org)...

Does a insurance company have to pay

Answered 6 years and 8 months ago by Patrick Johnson (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Automobile Accidents
