Power of attorney for a child is a formal document that a principal (parent), uses to grant another party the rights and responsibilities of taking care of their children. Thus, it is a temporary delegation of authority. Below are instances when you should draft this document;

• When leaving your child under the care of another person for a long period.
• When preparing for uncertainties and unlikely events that may render you unavailable for your child
• When you are locked away.
• When admitted for a long-term with a medical condition.
• When you are in the army and get deployed to an area far away from the children.
