What if...

This idea started with a discussion about Terri Schiavo that quickly ventured off into the absurd...

Suppose that in your living will you designate your spouse to have complete medical, financial, legal etc. power of attorney. You clearly and specifically state that your spouse is to make all decisions on your behalf should you be incapacitated.

Suppose you then become incapacitated.

Suppose your spouse then decides to divorce you.

Could your spouse sign the divorce papers on your behalf?
