My father passed away 4 years ago. My question is about his actual death. I am the oldest child, executriss of his estate & his primary care giver for the last 15 years of his life.
My younger sister signed a DNR without my knowledge. I found out by overhearing nursing staff talk.
I left the hospital for a shower & stuff to come back & spend the night. While I was gone (45min), my sister had cardiac meds withheld & he passed.
Can she do this? How could the hospital not consult all the family?
The nurses & physician notes (I have records) plainly state she withheld meds, & "The Family" wad at the bedside at the time of death
You are only an executrix after he dies and IF you were named in his Will as such. As a caregiver - did you have POA? Were you his Health Care Surrogate? Was your father conscious at anytime while in the hospital where he could acknowledge whether he wanted to be resuscitated or not? Need a whole lot more info that this.
