I need to become power of attorney for my deceased grandmother for a lawsuit purpose. She was taking Truvada during the recall but they said I can’t sue on her behalf without being power of attorney. Even though she has children I was the one taking care of her. Is there any alternative that I can take in order to become the person who can sue on her behalf?
Hello Elishiea,
I am sorry for the loss of your grandmother.
In Florida, the Personal Representative has the right to bring suit on behalf of the deceased's estate on behalf of its beneficiaries.
An estate needs to be opened and a P.R. appointed, which if approved, can possibly be you.
Speak with a Personal Injury attorney to obtain further information.
Do not delay, as the Statute of Limitation for bringing a Wrongful Death action is 2 years.
