My dad was getting divorced the day after he had his car accident. He died 4 days later due to negligence at the hospital. We are looking at pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit. My dad and his wife had buy without a prescription been separated for 1 1/2 years and did not live together. She isn’t my real mom. I have general power of attorney and healthcare power of attorney on my dad. I’m also the executor and beneficiary of his estate. Do I have to let the former spouse know about the wrongful death lawsuit?? She is legally crazy. Multiple personalities and bipolar disorder. I don’t want her knowing any of these because she’ll try and get her dirty hands on everything she can.
