Hospital Discharge Rights Violation
Summary
In Kansas, if you face issues with hospital discharge and guardianship rights, ensure your power of attorney documents are valid. Consider contacting legal aid services, ombudsman programs, or filing complaints with relevant authorities. If these options are exhausted, explore contacting the Kansas Bar Association for lawyer referrals or the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys for specialized assistance. Filing for guardianship in court may be necessary to gain legal authority over your wifes care. Additionally, report any mail theft or trespassing to law enforcement and consult with an elder law attorney for further guidance.Full Conversation
