You can empower your parents to make decisions for you, but you cannot authorize them to represent you. Upon receipt of an offer, you can authorize them to accept or reject it, but anything further would constitute the unauthorized practice of law.

You should really ask your lawyer about this (or a different lawyer if you're afraid he'll just say what benefits him). You may be able to leave a notarized statement of some sort. They'll most likely need your testimony, not through your parents.
