Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Colorado

How do you get a POA while a person is in the ICU?

My Dad is in the ICU Burn Unit, Can I get a Power of Attorney Verbally? Or does he have to sign it? He is unable to sign anything due to the burns to his hands. Can anyone witness the Power of attorney?

Your father can direct someone to sign for him in front of the witnesses and notary and that will constitute an acceptable signature.

Have your father's attorney visit with him at the hospital to prepare the necessary documents.
