My Dad's doctors have said that I need to get medical power of atty. because he needs to be a nursing home or at home with a sitter with 24/7 care. He refuses, so how do I get medical power of atty. when he refuses to sign?

Dear Diana,
We are afraid that there is no way for you to be your father’s agent for the purpose of making medical care decisions if he refuses to sign a Medical Power of attorney.
Any Power of attorney must be voluntarily executed by a competent person.
In case he indeed needs a person to handle some of his affairs, including medical care, and he refuses to sign a Power of attorney, a guardian may be appointed by the Probate Court to take care of particular needs of such person.
Please be informed that Legal Helpmate is not a law firm and we do not give legal advice to the public.
Best regards,
