What is the name of your state? California
My brotherin-law has a girlfriend who needs some help. Her father hates the fact that she is dating my brother-in-law and convinced her in a short period when she was feeling down and wasn't eating right that she had an eating disorder. He had her check into a clinic in Newport Beach for 3 days. Trusting her father she signed the papers consenting to the 3 days and while doing so signed a power of attorney signing away all her rights unknown; he had slipped it in there with out her knowing. Now he wants to keep her there for 60 more days with the power of attorney because in that time frame my brother-in-law who is in the Coast Guard deploys. My questioin is can she revoke the power of attorney or contest it in any way? The doctors at the facility have told her and her FATHER that she does not need the treatment because she is not sick. Can someone please help she is the sweetest girl and I don't like to see things like this happen to nice people.
