Definition And Purpose An affidavit of guardianship is a sworn statement that designates an individual as a guardian for a minor or incapacitated person.
A caregiver is a person who has taken on the responsibility of looking after someone who is unable to care for himself or herself fully due to illness, frailty, disability or a mental health problem. This person could be a family member, partner, relative, friend, or neighbour.
A Caregiver's Affidavit will allow you to 1) enroll the child in school and 2) if you are a relative, consent to medical care on behalf of the child. If you are not a relative, you may consent to school-related medical care only and it is recommended that you obtain legal guardianship.
Since 1994, California has had a consent law that allows an "informal" relative caregiver to submit the same affidvait to enroll the child in school and consent to the child's medical treatment.
A Caregiver's Authorization Affidavit is an official form based on California's recognition that adults who have minors living with them are “caregivers” who often want and need to take some responsibility for the minor's education and other care.
An Affidavit of Support, also called the Form I-864, is a document an individual signs to accept financial responsibility for the applicant who is coming to live in the United States. The person who signs the Affidavit of Support is also called the “sponsor.”
Section 48204 of the Education Code provides that this affidavit constitutes a sufficient basis for a determination of residency of the minor, without the requirement of a guardianship or other custody order, unless the school district determines from actual facts that the minor is not living with the caregiver.
