Oklahoma Minor Child Power of Attorney Form
An Oklahoma minor child power of attorney form is a contractual agreement that authorizes a parent or guardian to transfer decision-making powers concerning their child or children to another trusted individual, termed the attorney-in-fact. The appointed person has temporary guardianship and decision-making responsibilities for the child. The authority granted through this form is temporary, with a maximum duration of one (1) year. This time frame allows for flexibility in caregiving arrangements due to various circumstances such as travel, medical issues, or other personal matters. Overall, this legal tool ensures the continued care and welfare of the child in the parent or guardian’s absence, providing peace of mind that a trusted individual will meet the child’s needs.
