You assign one or more of your children Power of Attorney for both healthcare and medical decisions for the time you cannot do so for yourself. Let your apartment management know your children’s names and contact information and that they have your permission to access your apartment. Provide your children duplicate copies of your car keys.

You do NOT need to give your children POA in order to do this. It provides much larger power which may not be appropriate.

The question is, why would your children need to sign anything to get into your apt or get your car. My kids and grandson, all have keys to my house. By having a key, they also have excess to my car keys. If I had an apt, they would all have keys.

If you pass, I would think the Executor would be able to get access to the appt by proving they are executor and showing a death certificate.

Is it that you don't want your children to enter your appt or have access to your car? Then you inform the complex office that your children are not allowed in your appt or have access to your car. Do it in writing.
