Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are planning to travel abroad for an extended period may need this Power of Attorney to ensure that their children are cared for by a trusted individual. This document allows the appointed Attorney-in-Fact to make decisions regarding the child's education and health care in the parent's absence.
  • Situations requiring a parent to be hospitalized can benefit from this Power of Attorney, as it grants another person the authority to manage the child's daily needs and make critical decisions. This ensures that the child's welfare is prioritized during the parent's recovery period.
  • For those who are single parents and may need assistance in managing their child's affairs while they are at work or otherwise occupied, this document provides a legal framework for delegating responsibilities. It allows the Attorney-in-Fact to step in and handle important matters without legal complications.
  • Parents who are going through a divorce may find this Power of Attorney useful to temporarily delegate their parental responsibilities to a trusted friend or family member. This can help alleviate stress during a challenging time and ensure that the child's needs are consistently met.
  • In cases where a parent is unable to care for their child due to unforeseen circumstances, such as illness or emergency, this Power of Attorney allows for immediate action. The designated Attorney-in-Fact can take necessary steps to ensure the child's safety and well-being without delay.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate if the parent is seeking permanent custody arrangements, as it is intended for temporary delegation of authority only. Permanent custody matters require a different legal process.
  • – In situations where both parents are available and capable of making decisions for the child, using this Power of Attorney may create unnecessary confusion and is not needed.
  • – If the child has special needs that require specific care and attention, this document may not be sufficient. In such cases, more detailed legal arrangements should be considered.
  • – This form should not be used if the parent is facing legal issues regarding custody or child welfare, as it may complicate ongoing legal proceedings.
  • – In cases where the chosen Attorney-in-Fact is not trustworthy or lacks the capability to make sound decisions, it is advisable to seek other legal arrangements.
