Q: My aunt is in the hospital with a tube breathing for her and her daughter that she doesn't want around showed up.
HerWill and all is at a lawyer office. Who can go get a copy of the will to keep her daughter from taking everything. The paperwork has it started in them that her daughter and a few others are not to be anywhere around
A: A will by itself would not bar daughter from being present as the terms of the will are only in effect up upon death. A health care power of attorney would be necessary. If mom doesnt have one then its probably too late.
