I have a soon to be 18 yo child with multiple mental health issues. I would like to be able to advocate for him in the future if he wants or needs me to. Or if he is not in a mental state to be able to advocate for himself. Does anyone know the law regarding this? Would I have to get a POA drawn up by a lawyer to have my advocacy recognized by doctors, hospitals should he need inpatient treatment, etc? Or could I draw something up myself and have him sign it- if he is willing- and have someone witness it?
PA resident if that makes any difference.
