power of attorney
my mother is in a nursing home. her doctor has advised her that she may not go home to her husband, who is emotionally abusive and only interested in gaining control of her finances, for more than a few hours and then only with supervision. does she have the right to leave against the doctor’s orders. my brother and i have durable power of attorney. we are concerned about her welfare considering the fact that she cannot walk, and my stepfather has suffered several strokes and cannot use his right leg and arm and cannot drive.
