    Document Signed While In the Hospital
    My question involves malpractice by a lawyer in the state of: Notorary in Georgia

    My daughter was hospitalized for three months with meningitis,inflammation of the membranes of the brain and during this time she had not eaten for the first two months, the final month she was fed liquids. At this time she was very lethargic and disorientated. I was given a Power of Attorney to oversee my daughters affairs. When I was not around her oldest son's father (not her husband) had her sign a paper, that we believe had something to do with custody of her son. She was not left with a copy of this paper so we have no idea of what it says. He had this paper notorized. Can we have it considered null and void?

    Re: Null and Void
    She can try. I have no way of knowing what she signed, what its legal implications are, or whether she would have been considered legally competent at the time. If he goes to court based on whatever the document says, your daughter can present the facts to the judge and see what the judge decides.
