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.
The form is also called a "Caregiver Authorization Affidavit." The form says you are sharing medical and educational decision-making power with the caregiver you name. You can find instructions from the Massachusetts Probate Court on how to fill out the form.
