Medical Malpractice Attorneys and Lawyers

I need help forming my husbands medical directive. Help?

Okay, my husband is having SERIOUS surgery only a few weeks away. We have done the whole will, power of attorney and medical directive thing. BUT, his family (Father's side) is a bit...well, I don't think they trust me. We've been together over four years now and this possibility never occurred to me. As his wife he has given me the authority to act on his behalf and I've given him the same authority in regards to myself. His family is used to running the show, specifically his grandmother & father. I feel fairly certain that his father and I have reached an understand. As for his grandmother, she and I are anywhere close to agreement. She told me I had better to do all there was to do or "There'd be hell to pay". I know enough to know that she'd try to sue me, ruin me and make my life hell as if losing my husband wouldn't make it that way anyway. So I need to know all the specific wording he should leave so that they can't say I acted on any other authority except for his.

1. You two did everything correct, there is nothing they can do to stop the decisions you two have made...Your husband signed the papers, he did not do this under duress (sp), he signed of his own free will... They can try and sue you or stop you, the judge will throw this out of court...That paper you have gives you or him all rights under the law to make the choices you feel are right... Do not even try to explain this to the others, this is between you and your husband...Stand your ground and do not give in... I hope your husband is doing better...Good Luck to you both
