New Hampshire Revocation Power of Attorney Care and Custody of Child or Children
About this form
The Revocation Power of Attorney Care and Custody of Child or Children is a legal document that allows a parent or guardian to revoke previously granted authority to another individual regarding the care and custody of their child or children. Unlike a standard Power of Attorney, which grants ongoing authority, this form serves specifically to terminate any custodial rights that were previously assigned. This ensures that the parental rights remain intact and are under direct control of the parent or guardian at all times.
Key components of this form
- Declarant's name: Identifies the parent or guardian revoking the authority.
- Previous Power of Attorney date: Specifies when the original authority was granted.
- Attorney-in-fact's name: Names the individual who previously held custody rights.
- Written revocation statement: Clearly states the intention to revoke the previous Power of Attorney.
- Signature and date: Requires the Declarant's signature and the date of revocation for legal validity.
- Notary public acknowledgment: Confirms the legitimacy of the form after signing.
When this form is needed
This form should be used when a parent or legal guardian wishes to terminate a Power of Attorney concerning the care and custody of their child or children. Situations may include a change in personal circumstances, such as the guardian becoming unfit for care, or if the parent wishes to resume full custody after a temporary arrangement. It is essential to use this form to ensure that the original Power of Attorney is effectively revoked and no longer in force.
Who should use this form
- Parents or guardians who have previously granted a Power of Attorney for child custody.
