Oklahoma City, OK asked in Family Law for Oklahoma

Q: I am needing to get financial power of attorney over my 16 year old biologiacal child. What forms do I need?

I have a 16 year old child that has a account he set up with his grandparent to be able to buy his first car now his grandparent has passed away and thought he put me on the paperwork to take over when he passed away but he filled out the wrong paper and I take over if my son passes away. My son is wanting access to his money that he earned to purchase a vehicle. I need to know what I need to do to help him since he is only 16. I have never been divorced and he resides with both of his biological parents.

A: If the money is in a bank, you should take your son to the bank with his I.D. and your I.D. and explain the situation. The bank may let you sign for him as his parent without having to spend money on getting a guardianship, which usually would require you hiring an attorney which would cost a fair amount. If the bank will allow you tom sign, problem solved.
