Need deceased father's medical records
My father died last week at his nursing home. My sister requested his medical records so we can work on family medical history. The nursing home says they can only give the medical records to a Power of Attorney. What do you suggest we do? Can we still obtain a Power of Attorney? If so, how do we do that? Thanks for your help!
Re: Need deceased father's medical records
You can't obtain or act on a "Power of Attorney" for a deceased person. If he had a Will naming an executor maybe that can be used. You could open a probate estate but that may not be worth the trouble for what you are seeking.
