In short, a Medical Power of Attorney (POA) allows you to make medical decisions for your adult child in the event they cannot. HIPAA permits healthcare providers to disclose your child’s health information to the person they specify (narrower than Medical POA). And a Durable POA allows the designee to make financial decisions and transactions on behalf of their adult child.
We used Mama Bear to prepare these forms for our own teens and found the process to be convenient, seamless, and the price was very reasonable.The forms are in one spot, they walk you though filling them out and getting them signed up (and you get two states for the price of one). There is an app on which you can store the documents and Mama Bear has great customer service to answer your questions. Here is where you find the forms and use the code “GROWN&FLOWN” for 20% off the price. https://mamabearlegalforms.
