The form you need is an Indiana Minor Child POA Form.

You can assign someone else an appointment for a maximum of 12 months over your son in Indiana (§ 29-3-9-1(b)(2)).

However, at the end of the period, you can create a new document and assign it for an additional 12 months.

Can I sign POA of my 15-year-old son to my 20-year-old daughter & 21-year-old son-in-law temporarily?

What should I include as the terms if I still want to be informed about decisions & medical treatment?

Lexi, Chatbot

I understand you’re looking to sign a Power of Attorney for your 15-year-old son to your 20-year-old daughter and 21-year-old son-in-law.

Lexi

Lexi, Chatbot

Have you discussed this arrangement with all parties involved?

Yes, all three of us adults have had in-depth discussions regarding this.

I have had my son in my custody since birth.

His father has rarely been in his life.

We were never married, and he is not listed on the birth certificate, but there was a DNA test done by the state of Illinois to prove he was the father.

Lexi

Lexi, Chatbot

Are there any specific medical conditions or treatments that your son may require in the future that should be addressed in the Power of Attorney document?

Nothing specific, but we are wanting to get him in some type of therapy sessions for his mental health.

Lexi

Lexi, Chatbot

Is there anything else the Family Lawyer should know before I connect you?

Lexi

Lexi, Chatbot

Rest assured they’ll be able to help with your Power of Attorney.

The reason we are choosing to do this is that the living conditions I’m currently in are not suitable for him to be in.

He is also going through legal issues due to criminal activity.

We all permanently reside in Indiana.

Do I need to put anything specific on it?

Jessica B

Jessica B

No, it is a standard form. You still retain your rights.

What kind of rights does his father have?

Jessica B

Jessica B

None.

Can his father just show up and take him?

Jessica B

Jessica B

No, because there is no court order.

So, I have full custody until there is a court order?

Jessica B

Jessica B

Yes.

Okay, thank you so much for all your help today, I truly appreciate it.
