It would help to have more details. Is there any document from the woman giving a named person authority to make medical decisions on her behalf? (In some states, the living will simply gives instructions; a separate health-care power of attorney or designation of health-care representative may be used in some states to authorize an individual to make medical decisions for an individual who is no longer capable of making decisions for herself.) Your questions makes it sound as if the woman created a document authorizing Husband 1 to make decisions--but did not update her paperwork after the divorce and marriage to Husband 2. If this is the case, let us know... It could help to know whether the people and paperwork are all in the same state--and even what state is involved. Don't know if you're comfortable spelling all of this out... Good luck. |

Thank you for your quick response. : ) The state is Illinois. This is kind of like the terri shavo case except of parents there are an ex husband and new husband. As far as I know, her ex husband had a will w/ her saying that he is power of attorney but they divorced a year latter she remarried and set up a new living will that may have her new husband an power of attorney. All i would need is a case either federal or state ex terri shavo Vs. ??// Thank you for all your help! : ) |
