Arkansas Minor Child Power of Attorney Form
An Arkansas minor child power of attorney form grants a trusted individual the legal authority to care for a child when the parent(s) is/are away due to work, travel, or personal matters. Completing this form before the absence is crucial; parents should carefully select the agent to ensure they can adequately care for the child(ren). Both parties should retain a copy of the completed form.
Parents can specify the power of attorney duration by including an expiration date in the document or use a revocation form to end it anytime. If issues arise with the agent, parents should promptly terminate the agreement and arrange for another trusted person to assume the agent role.
