    Only if that relative has power of attorney. Otherwise, the relative's signing is illegal.

    The relative can write a letter on behalf of the person unable to sign, but the signature at the end of the letter must be that of the relative who wrote the letter.

    I already answered that. It is illegal and unacceptable for someone to sign for next of kin who cannot sign his/her own signature. The ONLY exception is if that someone has power of attorney for the other person.

    If the next of kin has been granted a power of attorney on behalf of the incapacitated person, then yes.
