Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
Can a Special Power of Attorney be used against you?
I live in Colorado and my son is staying most of the summer with his grandparents in Texas. He has a half sister and her father has accused my son of sexually harrassing our daughter. The allegations are ridiculous and just another one of his tactics to take custody of our daughter.
My son's grandparents talked to an attorney and was told they needed a POA in the event someone came to their house to question my son.
The attorney has provided us with a ''special power of attorney.'' It states the grandparents have the right to select religion for the child, seek medical care, manage estate, etc.
I'm concerned if I sign it, they may try to take custody of my child. My question is, should I sign a power of attorney?

Re: Can a Special Power of Attorney be used against you?
Do you expect that your son's grandparents would try to take custody? Have they ever given that indication? If not, then you're safe going with the power of attorney their attorney drew up. But if you have those fears, why did you let your son go to his grandparents in the first place?
