HIPPA SUCKS!!!
I just had my moms trust altered to get around HIPPA regulations. I’m my cousins Conservator and Trustee and run into problems frequently. People are so ignorant to the laws. I am frequently told “You need a “Power of Attorney.” An individual is conserved because they are incapacitated and can’t legally sign a POA, Knock knock, anybody home up there. I disagree Becky (@becsbuddy,) HIPPA, has never helped my cousin or mom. It’s only hindered and interfered with medical care. I have never found it to be helpful. I believe HIPPA needs to be repealed or at least totally rewritten.

@jakedduck1 On behalf of Public Guardians everywhere, thank you for stepping up to be your cousin's conservator/trustee. I know there are a lot of hoops to jump through each year to be reinstated. I hope the judge thanks you, as it is a thankless [but loving] job to account for everything and get the psychologists' reports done to affirm your cousin's status. That said, regarding HIPPA, I think it is a good thing, but should be tempered with a big dose of common sense!
