How do I get power of attorney for my sister.
Asked on Mar 16th, 2021 on Guardianship and Conservatorship - California
More details to this question:
She is in an abusive relationship she has tried to leave. She is currently being held on a 5250 and is dealing with psychosis. Her husband will not let me talk to the doctors as I do not have a patient code and he is making calls on her bell Alf which I know she does not want. Is there anyway to be able to talk with her or the doctors without a power of attorney if she is unable to communicate with the doctors that I need to be involved with her care .

Your sister can sign a HIPAA Medical Information Release form or appoint you her agent under a Medical Power of Attorney. If you have evidence tending to prove that her husband is abusing his Power of Attorney or marital standing, hire a lawyer to file for conservatorship.
