Your son would need to sign it before a notary. He does need to be competent at the time of signing, which you’ve said he currently is.

Lexi, Chatbot
I understand your concern. Are you looking for a legal form to appoint yourself as your adult son's decision-maker in case he is unable to make decisions?
Yes, that and to be able to make appointments now for him as well.
Lexi, Chatbot
Does your son have any existing medical conditions or disabilities that may affect his ability to make decisions in the future?
He was diagnosed with leukemia today.

Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with appointing decision-making authority for your son.
No.

Hi there! Welcome to AskaLawyer. My name is Liz and I’ve been an attorney for more than a decade, and I am here to assist with your concerns.
So I can best help, is your son currently able to understand and make decisions?
Yes, he is.
Elizabeth
Thank you for explaining that. I'm so sorry to hear about his diagnosis. Are you seeking to have power of attorney issued, in case you need to make decisions?
I want to be able to make appointments for him now, and if anything happens where he wouldn’t be able to make decisions, I want to be able to do it for him.
Elizabeth
I completely understand. That would usually be covered by a durable power of attorney. Where are you located?
In Montana.
