Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are traveling abroad for an extended period may need to appoint someone to care for their children. This Power of Attorney allows the designated person to make crucial decisions regarding the child’s health and education in the absence of the custodial parent.
  • Situations requiring a parent to be hospitalized can create uncertainty about who will care for their children. This document provides a legal framework for another trusted adult to step in and make decisions, ensuring the child’s needs are met without delay.
  • For those who may be facing temporary relocation due to work commitments, this Power of Attorney ensures that the custodial parent can delegate authority to someone they trust. This arrangement helps maintain stability in the child’s life during the parent’s absence.
  • Parents who are involved in legal proceedings or other situations that might prevent them from being present for their children can utilize this document. It allows them to ensure that their children are cared for by someone they choose, minimizing disruption in the child's routine.
  • In cases where a single parent needs to attend to urgent personal matters, having this Power of Attorney in place allows for immediate and effective decision-making regarding the child’s welfare. It empowers the designated Attorney-in-Fact to act swiftly in the best interest of the child.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate if the custodial parent is not able to make informed decisions due to mental incapacity. In such cases, a more formal guardianship arrangement may be necessary.
  • – If the child has special needs that require ongoing medical treatment or specific educational plans, a more comprehensive legal arrangement may be required rather than a simple Power of Attorney.
  • – In situations where both parents are involved in custody disputes, using this form may complicate legal proceedings and should be approached with caution.
  • – This document should not be used if the Attorney-in-Fact is not someone the custodial parent trusts completely. Choosing an untrustworthy individual can jeopardize the child's welfare.
  • – If the parent is facing legal issues that could impact their ability to make decisions, a Power of Attorney may not suffice, and legal counsel should be sought.
