My mother in law has my husbands power of attorney right now. We are having twins and I was wondering if it should be transfered into my name. He is in the military and leaves about two months before I am due. there is also no guarantee that he will be able to come home and I was wondering about tricare because you need to be the power of attorney to enroll the kids and you only have a finite time to do it.

Yes honey...your husband needs to get you a POA (power of attorney). Try this link to get more info on Tricare Enrollment.

Check with your local Personnel office and TRICARE service center. Depending on the rules, you may be able to enroll the children in TRICARE as the dependent spouse and mother. Can't speak for the other branches of the service, but in the Air Force the dependent parents were able to enroll their children in DEERS (which is done through the Personnel office) and TRICARE. If they say you must have a power of attorney, make sure your husband gets one naming you as Attorney-In-Fact before he deploys. Most legal offices have walk-in hours where your husband could get one. It only takes about 5-10 minutes if they're not busy.

As everyone has stated before me you need to have a poa, I agree but what they are not telling is this.. he needs to revoke his mother's POA 1st then send a copy not only to her but to everyone she has used this POA as well, you will need special POAs to re-new tags, finance, deers enrollment, and just in case get one for Military Id card (in case yours gets lost while he is deployed).
Remember you CAN give POA to whomever you want, meaning just because your the wife doesnt mean your husband has to give you one, I know harsh but I learned this from a friend I helped who's husband while deployed revocked hers , and gave it to his mother.. make sure you keep everything in a fire safe box.
Good Luck with the babies!!
I would also suggest going to JAG do a walk in , but your spouse will have a chance to go before he is deployed to update his will and other JAG issues.

Transfer the POA right away to your name. It will save you and the family a lot of headaches in the long run. Good luck

You need to get your husband to get you a power of attorney before he leaves for deployment. I do not understand why you would not have one being that you are married.

POA absolutely needs to be in your name. no way in heck should his mother have it. there are sooo many things that you cannot do without one.
