A: Hello!

I'm sorry to hear about your son's situation. Rather than a power of attorney, it sounds like you need a guardianship over your son. From your question, I take it that your son is not a minor.

The Oklahoma Bar Association has some helpful information about guardianships here: https://www.okbar.org/a2j/guardian/

I wish you the best.
