I suggest that you consult with your local legal aid clinic o see what legal advice can be given you and your family. In essence you need to ascertain if your cousin signed a medical power of attorney with respect to a situation that she has fallen into. Another option is to consult with a Wills and trust attorney in your locality. One can be found on attorneypages.com.
