Can get medical records released with a general durable power of attorney? What if i need them to file for a disability? Can somebody given medical proxy dictate who can visit??

It depend on what language is in the General Durable POA. Normally, language allowing for that would be in a separate Medical POA, as well as information about medical proxy. You need to speak with an estate planning or elder law attorney come Monday.

Not all documents are the same-so the answer is that it depends on if you have the appropriate medical powers in your document to release medical records.

As discussed above, it depends on the language of the document. If you need help analyzing your document or a referral to good attorneys in our area, I'd be happy to help.
