Yep. You got that straight. You also pointed out that whoever has POA can sign hospice papers, but there is a difference between complete POA, financial POA, and healthcare POA. I'm not positive, but I think it was reported here that Mae's granddaughter originally only had financial POA.

Yes she ORRIGIONALLY only had a financial POA, but when the relatives called the hospice and found out she was being staved to death the hospice checked and found out this infomation and that the patient had a living will directly contradicting the grandaughters orders, thay then called the grandaughter, told her the info and stalled the relatives untill the grandaughter could get a temporary guardianship after which the grandaughter ordered the starvaton of her gradmother.
