Whoopps... can't find dad's living will where he said he wanted to live. Pull the plug on the old buzzard so we can divide up his property, get on to his will
I think you're trying to be clever...but, you wouldn't have to petition the courts to keep "dad" alive. .
However, if your "dad" were in Terri's condition without a living will, (or one that couldn't be found) and your "mom"---claimed to know he wouldn't want to live this way, you'd be right where the Schindlers find themselves.
Right now, the law doesn't allow for a good Samaritan to override spousal rights.
We need to channel our energy to change the laws.
