Can they legally withhold records?

My mother died. Need copies of all her medical records. Nursing home refuses w/o POA. POA dies with person.

I am curious, why do you need your mother's medical records?

If you think there wasn't correct care being taken, when you hire an Attorney and he/she can ask for the medical records.

Yes they can, all legal and financial matters are now in the hands of the Executor. If there is no Will, the surrogate's court will appoint someone.
