Re: Durable Power of Attorney
I am assuming your son is an adult. Generally, the durable power of attorney does not need to be approved by a court. If your son is incompetent to give consent (e.g., a minor, mentally ill, or otherwise does not know what he is doing), however, the power of attorney may be ineffective or voidable. In that instance, you should seek to be appointed as guardian. If your son is competent, your son should consider specifying the powers he desires you to have.
