Manor Oaks, Inc. v. Campbell

by Jenna G. Rubin

It is not uncommon for a health care surrogate or an agent under a power of attorney to sign a nursing home admission form for an elderly family member who is unable to do so for himself. These admission forms may contain more than just health care related or financial related provisions, so it is important to consider the nature and the scope of the family member’s authority in determining whether they can bind someone to all of the terms of the agreement.
