[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are insane. Next of kin gets talked to if the patient is incapacitated. Unless your kid got married without telling you, that's you [/quote] You're wrong. Do not assume that a parent "gets talked to" as next of kin if a student who is an adult -- in other words, 18+, so pretty much ALL college students--is incapacitated. Sure, a doctor might choose to tell a parent what's going on but without a medical POA, you're at the mercy of what doctors choose to do. And if you want to make medical choices for your incapacitated adult child, like what treatments to pursue, or whether (to be blunt) to pull the plug? You will need that signed, notarized POA for sure. We were advised by two different attorneys to get medical and legal POAs for our college student and I'll take their advice over yours. [/quote]
