who represents a man in a coma
My brother-in-law is in a coma from a severe head trauma. He has no living will or POA- he also lost his job about a month ago and has no medical insurance. He is dirt poor. My sister, his ex-wife, is being
badgered by the injured man's mother (who is out of state) to become his POA and apply for SSD, go for COBRA and coordinate everything. I think this is a major problem for her to do this. He has two kids that are 17 and 21, and are too young for this responsibility. Do you think this is a good idea? Also, isn't there a 5 month waiting period for SSD? Who is to pay the COBRA?
Thank you for any help.
