what type of document do I need to allow a family member or relative to write checks should i become unable to

You do need a power of attorney, but you should also present the power of attorney to the banks ahead of time and have the family member sign a signiture card with that bank.  It saves a lot of time and effort later.

Check with the comapnies that supply legal forms, i would check the internet under (legal forms)

Actually the correct way to do that would be to contact your administrative support personal.  You must explain to them what you are trying to do.  If your request cannot be validated by the personal then you will be forced to be moved into another dimension.

I work in a bank and what u should do is have your mum contact a solicitor and have her give you / someone she trusts rights over her affairs. It is called the Power Of Attorney. If your mum is ill her doctor can sign a form saying that she is incapable of looking after her own affairs, and should that day come then the "power of attorney" will have authority over all your mums assets. This is why it is important that it be someone she trusts. There is no need to change all of her things into someone elses name. What I would recommend is that your mum's will be kept up to date so that should THAT day come all of her assets will be divided up as she would have wished.

Basically, what you want is a limited power of attorney. There are several sites you can find these on - just google for "Power of Attorney".\n\nWhat you want to say is something like, you authorize this person (give a name & license or SSN to identify them) to act on your behalf only for the purpose of claiming your check/continuing salary/whatever from whatever company. Make it as explicit as possible to limit the authority that person is being given. If it's just to pick up the check, say so, if it's to give them the money to do with as they wish, say so.\n\nYou'll need at least a witness, and it would be better if you signed it in front of a Notary Public.

You can get a simple will at 'Staples'.  Make sure that you have it notarized properly with witnesses.  I did my notarization at my bank for no charge.

You should ask for a copy and take it to a Lawyer to have him/her check over the legal ramifications of the document and if your company has any right in doing so.

Was it already probated?  If so there'd be a copy at the court house.  If not it has to come either from his lawyer or another family member who has a copy.  Most locations a copy is good enough if it bears the signatures of the person and witnesses.  Some however don't allow copies to be used.  If you're arguing over the will it will be going to court anyway so why not ask the family member?  They'll be compeled by the court to produce it anyway regardless of it's contested or not.

Just like a check...Sign when you receive them, then when you want to use them, just write who it's payable to and then sign it and hand it over

How Do I Get My Medical Records?\n\nAll hospitals, and most doctors' offices, have a release form that you can use to request your medical records. In most cases you can request the medical information directly from the doctor's office or medical records department at a hospital. For information about a cancer, you should send your request to the hospital's pathology department.\n\nKeep in mind that offices may only keep records for a certain amount of time as required by that state. You should call the office to be sure your records still exist. In many cases you can simply send a letter that includes the relevant information rather than using a specific form. This letter will need to include:\n\n    * Your birth date.\n    * Your full name (including any information about name changes).\n    * Time frame when you were seen (for example July 1998 to September 2000).\n    * The specific types of information you want sent (such as reports from a brain scan, your cholesterol levels, etc.).\n\nYou can have your records sent to yourself to share with a healthcare professional, or directly to a health professional. If you do have the records sent to a health professional, let them know to expect the files.\n \nHow Do I Get Medical Information About My Relatives?\n\nMedical Records\n\nYou can only access medical records for other members of your family with their permission, or with the permission of the next-of-kin for a deceased family member. Each state handles next-of-kin slightly differently, so you should check the requirements in your state. However, the usual legal order for next-of-kin is:\n\n    * The spouse\n    * Children or parents\n    * Grandchildren\n    * Siblings\n    * Nieces or Nephews\n\nIf you are not the next-of-kin, you will need the signature from the legal next-of-kin along with the medical release form. You may also need to attach forms indicating your legal right to the medical records, for example, if you or the next-of-kin is the executor of the estate. Each medical facility has slightly different regulations about the paperwork required for obtaining a relative's medical records. It is best to contact the medical facility before submitting a request.\n\nOften there is no charge to request medical records if the medical records are sent directly to a health professional. If you request that the medical records be sent to you, there may be a fee. The cost can be surprisingly expensive if there are lots of medical records because there are per page copying charges and sometimes additional charges for the time of the person making the copies.\n\nIn some cases, the information you need will be on the death certificate, which is easier to get than the medical records. If you are not the next of kin of the deceased, you should consider getting the death certificate first. If that does not provide the information you need, then try to obtain the medical records.

To keep down all the confusion the best way is to pool some money together an hire a lawyer for one hour an let him read the will that way there won't be any confusion as to what each person gets. Know from experience when my father passed away my 4 brothers wanted to clean out his house and that isn't what he wanted, there was things that was promised to me an they knew it. Took will to lawyer with money and all ended up the way he wanted it.

The most current legal document is recognized by the court in most states. You can call the clerk of court (family court) to verify this for your county or state. There are plenty of on-line forms or forms that you can buy that you can complete and have notarized and witnessed. You can ammend a form to make null and void, any and all documents dated previous to (then add the current date of the document). Again, check with the clerk of court, as they will have the most accurate information.

You can get this at the local county court office.  You will need to spend some money for the forms they are NOT free on the Internet.  The bad news is that in some states your parents have to agree to this.  Be careful because this could also open of a case of incorrigibility against you.\nBest of luck

A will, a living will, a social security number, a passport, and a driver's licence.  Birth certificate is important but if you have the others it is sort of taken care of.
