Durable Power Of Attorney Form
Q.How do I go about getting a temporary power of attorney? What exactly *is* a temporary power of attorney? This makes me wonder...... When my children go on school field trips, where I sign a paper that says they can seek emergency treatment if necessary, does that mean that the school can't actually get emergency treatment?
A.The Minor Authorization form I just posted should do it as long as it's notarized. I'm not an attorney (so please don't stake anyone's life or financial wellbeing on my advice), but this is the same letter that DCL requires, so I would hope that they would know what they are doing. A really strict hospital or doctor may not even accept a durable power of attorney without investigating its validity. Regardless, they are required by law to provide necessary treatment in a life-threatening situation, regardless of what documentation you do or do not have. Of course its more likely that the situation would be less of an emergency, such as the child having a mild allergic reaction. The doctor still could refuse to administer or prescribe drugs without the parent's permission, even if you have a notarized power of attorney or "authorization form". I guess it's just a result of today's litigious society.
