A member asked:
Geriatrics md: how could daughter sign mom up for nursing home without consent and then deny medical sibling access to info?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need a bit more info: What state are we talking about? Does daughter have durable power of attorney? What do you mean when you say "medical sibling"? The best thing may be for you to discuss this with a lawyer who deals with these issues on a regular basis.
