Power of attorney

Kizzy

Hi

I am finding it increasingly difficult now my child is older (13yro) to do things without his written consent. Access medical records, Data Subject Access requests, sign forms etc... but getting him to fill out forms, write written consent etc... his neigh on impossible and makes getting these jobs done unnecessarily hard for both of us. Is there any way we can avoid this? Is there a Power of Attorney I can get or the like to act on his behalf? I beleive that to a normal POA only counts once he is not capable to look after himself but can only be granted while he is capable. Is that right? If so am I too late? 

Any advice would be gratefully received as I feel like I am losing this battle at the moment. 

Thanks
