Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are single parents and need to ensure their children are cared for while they are away can utilize this Power of Attorney. For instance, if a custodial parent is hospitalized or traveling abroad for an extended period, this document allows them to appoint someone they trust to make decisions regarding their child's welfare.
  • Situations requiring a temporary transfer of parental authority often arise during emergencies. A parent may need to designate a trusted friend or family member to take care of their child in case of unforeseen circumstances, ensuring that the child's needs are met without legal complications.
  • For those who are planning a long trip or relocation, this Power of Attorney serves as a proactive measure. By appointing an Attorney-in-Fact, the custodial parent can maintain peace of mind knowing that their child’s health and education will be managed according to their wishes during their absence.
  • Parents facing a medical procedure that requires hospitalization may find this document essential. It allows them to assign someone to make immediate decisions regarding their child's care and education while they recover, ensuring that their child is not left without support.
  • In cases where a parent is involved in legal matters that may temporarily hinder their ability to care for their child, this Power of Attorney can be a crucial tool. It allows for the seamless transition of care responsibilities to a designated individual, safeguarding the child's interests.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate when both parents share custody and both must agree on decisions regarding the child. In such cases, a mutual agreement or joint Power of Attorney may be necessary.

  • – In situations where the Grantor is unable to make informed decisions due to mental incapacity, this Power of Attorney may not be valid. A legal guardian may need to be appointed instead.
  • – This document should not be used for long-term custody arrangements. It is intended for temporary situations and does not replace formal custody agreements or court orders.
