Credit Card For Son

I know the thread's been pulled but I'm not sure why.
In case it helps masma I had just typed a reply which said you could discuss it with him and see if you can agree the wording of a letter for him to sign and send back

Probably because some people were suggesting that the OP do something illegal. Not exactly the crime of the century, though...

[factor-fiction]

I thought it was useful to have the discussion because it was rightly pointed out that it was unethical and illegal, but I'll leave it there as I can see it's a grey area

not quite sure what the problems are but could you get POA?

[jeffa]

In order to obtain power of attorney, you'd need to prove that the person in question is ill or disabled, either temporarily or on a long-term basis, out of the country for a significant time with no way of managing their affairs, or unable to make decisions for themselves, because of mental illness or other reasons.

black cat, the only way to get POA is with his agreement, and it doesn't take away the persons legal right to decide matters, just adds the POA holder who MUST take decisions based on what the POA grantor wants unless its illegal. The only way around this is to get the grantor declared not competent, in which case the courts will appoint a guardian, its long winded and difficult and i doubt that this person would be declared incompetent anyway.
