| If you have a health power of attorney for your child, what is the process to obtain medical records? |

| You contact their doctor's office and request the records. They will tell you what they need to release the records and what else you'll need to do. |

You are going to misuse a POA in order to snoop into your ADULT child's private health records?
Going for the Mother of the Year Award? There are probably better strategies . . . |

I don’t think you should judge without knowing the circumstances around OP needing access to her adult child’s medical records. |

| Ask for the medical records department at each doctors office. Good luck, it’s a bit wild. |

| Is it a springing power of attorney, as in you can only use it when your child is incapacitated? That's different than being able to act on their behalf in all circumstances. |
