I'm sure that you meant to say "coma" and not comma", and I'm sorry to hear about your son's condition. However only your son could sign a power of attorney giving you the authority to handle his money or his health care decisions. If that wasn't done before he went into a coma, he can not do so now. You might have the option of filing a Petition with the Court seeking to be named his guardian and conservator. Once such an Order is issued, you may be able to take care of your son's affairs legally. Consult with an attorney.
