What is the name of your state? Missouri
I have lived with a man for the last 5 yrs. He has a son who lives on the East Coast and really has no means to come here. My only contact with him is by email. Now my man has fallen gravely ill without doing the paper he always said he wanted to do. Leaving me to make his decisions for him. I expect no problem with his son, we have a great relationship, but my question is...if he is completely incapacitated (he is now on a breathing machine) and the hospital is asking for family decisions, could his son grant me his father's Power of Attorney? Money nor anything else is in question here. We are both simple people living simple lives and have only each other to take care of us. It is the legality of such a form I am asking if it is possible.
