Rachel Ray recently sparked numerous health concerns among fans. During a segment of her new series, Rachel Ray In Tuscany, many noticed that Ray was acting oddly and began to slur her words. Her behavior immediately alarmed her viewers. However, her health is not the only thing her fans are concerned about.
According to The Sun, Rachel Ray is not in complete control of her life and has signed over power of attorney to her husband, John Cusimano. This information has many of her followers worried that more is happening than meets the eye.
Rachel Ray’s Beverly Hills attorney, Adam Michael Sacks, spoke with the publication to explain what this means legally for Rachel and her husband, John. First of all, fans can breathe a sigh of relief. Ray signed over power of attorney to Cusimano months before they married in 2005.
Documents obtained by The Sun read: “The powers you grant below continue to be effective should you become disabled or incompetent. The official paperwork also clearly states the importance of this document.
“The paperwork also gives the person you designate the power to handle your property during your lifetime, which may include powers to mortgage, sell, or otherwise dispose of any real or personal property without advance notice to you or your approval.”
The papers further explain that these powers will “continue to exist even after you become disabled or incompetent.” However, the document does NOT authorize anyone to make medical or healthcare decisions.
Rachel Ray Finances Protected
Adam Sacks reveals that Rachel Ray did not surrender complete control to her husband, John Cusimano. The document strictly states that John has permission to handle real estate transactions on her behalf.
However, Rachael did not consent to bank, estate, business operations, and other numerous transactions. Ray didn’t appoint anyone else to step in should John become unable or unwilling to serve.
Mr. Sacks also states, “It’s not common. One of the reasons is when you know you have a problem like you’re sick or getting older. It has to be someone you completely trust, like a spouse. You would have them make decisions as though it were you.”
Rachel Ray discussed the matter during a November 5 episode of her podcast series, I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead. Ray stated, “One of the things that has been essential to my life and my success over the years has been the partner that I chose. I love my husband, John. And John works with me and has built our business and our brand together.”
The video reportedly alarmed Rachel Ray fans and appeared on the Home.Made.Nation Instagram. One commenter writes, “I love you, but are you ok? I’m seriously concerned.” Another adds, “This is concerning. Something is not right.”
Since then, Rachel has admitted that she suffered a couple of serious falls recently. However, Rachel claims she has slowed down a bit on physical work. “I’ve had a couple of bad falls in the last couple of weeks, so I haven’t been doing that in a while.”
Whatever is going on, whether or not it is with Rachel Ray’s health, she is not revealing too many details. While she appreciates her fan’s concerns, she chooses to keep the subject private and hopes they will continue respecting her privacy.
