Description

The Power of Attorney: Care and Custody of Child or Children form grants authority to an appointed individual (Attorney-in-Fact) to act on behalf of a parent regarding specific matters related to their child's care and custody. Key features include the ability to make decisions about education, health care, and general welfare, while explicitly excluding the power to consent to marriage or adoption. This form emphasizes the significance of maintaining clarity on the responsibilities of the Attorney-in-Fact, including participation in educational decisions and health care management, while ensuring the principal remains responsible for financial obligations related to care not covered by insurance. Filling out the form requires the parent to specify their details and those of the child, as well as the appointed Attorney-in-Fact. It also mandates witnessing and notarization for validity. Legal professionals, including attorneys, paralegals, and legal assistants, can utilize this form to facilitate temporary delegation of parental authority in situations where the parent cannot be present, such as during travel or medical emergencies. This ensures that the child’s needs are met promptly while safeguarding the parent's rights and responsibilities.
