Re: Power of Attorney for Metally Handicap Child turning 18
If the child is not compentant to care for him/herself, then the child is not compentent to sign a power of attorney.
You would need to obtain a conservatorship or guardianship over the child. This requires filing a petition with the court and obtaining a court order and letters of conservatorship or guardianship.
