Personally, I think that this is an advertisement, but on the off chance that you are for real, I am going to say that I cannot imagine why anyone would need a "young adult POA". I don't know of anyone who ever had one. Yes, many students had a parent on their bank accounts, but since your parent is your next of kin anyway (when you aren't married) I fail to see the need for a POA.

Thanks for the reply. My friend says it is for college-bound students like her daughter. In case she gets into accidents. doctors may not reveal all medical info to parents because they are already adult.

It sounds like this is really not needed. No wonder I did not find a lot when searching online.

Thanks again

A power of attorney is not the only way to accomplish such a thing. Please have your friend log on to ask her own questions about this matter, as she likely has additional information that you are not privy to.

Why? What facts suggest you need a POA? Also, FYI, there is no such thing as a "young adult POA."

Good for what?

Regarding advice, please read the disclaimer and other notices at the bottom of the page and elsewhere at the site.

Again, WHY would you need a POA? Would you be the principal or the agent/attorney-in-fact? If you're the principal, who would be the agent, and if you're the agent, who would be the principal? While I'm sure there are tons of free POA forms online, if you're giving authority to someone else to deal with third persons on your behalf or if you're accepting such authority (which will create fiduciary duties), do you really want to cheap out on this?

In case she gets into accidents. doctors may not reveal all medical info to parents because they are already adult.

HIPAA would prevent such disclosure UNLESS the adult child consents (which does not require a POA).

t sounds like this is really not needed.

Whether it's "needed" or not depends on the relevant facts (none of which you've provided) and will have some measure of subjectivity.

gomzilla, commercial links are not permitted on this forum so your post was reported for moderator review.

There are medical “emergency release” forms that can be signed by parents to allow for someone else to seek medical care for their children in their stead. Schools use these forms (often required for field trips), and parents can also use them for babysitters or for when their children travel or vacation anywhere without them.
