Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Virginia
I may be incarcerated soon and I want to make my son my General Power of Attorney. I have thoroughly looked through the people of whom I could make my "Agent" and my son is the most worthy candidate. With that being said, my son is 17 y.o.a and won't be 18 until a few months from now. Does he have to be 18 in order to be my assigned agent? What are the requirements that one must have to be an agent?

Merely by now giving your son a general POA would not confer upon him rights
as a minor that he cannot acquire by law until he reaches his majority, i.e.,
age 18, and therefore I see little point in it until he has all the rights of an adult
and can then exercise fully the powers in your behalf that he has been given under this POA.
