(using 1 of these 2 forms shows paramedics and others not to try restarting a person's heart or breathing or some other major actions, with a P.O.L.S.T. form having more details than the older Do Not Resuscitate Order form); (7) Georgia Statutory Form for Financial Power of Attorney (lets power over money, property, and more be shared with someone so they can do things like use accounts and see records); (8) Georgia Power Of Attorney For Care Of A Minor (lets power over a child's health care, schooling, and other areas be shared with a grandparent, great-grandparent, step-grandparent, or step-great-grandparent, usually because parents will be absent); (9) Power Of Attorney Delegating Parental Authority (this non-official form may help by giving a non-grandparent power over children); and (10) Designation To Control Remains (lets instructions be given and person be named to control funeral, cremation, burial, and related matters rather than closest family controlling this).
