Maryland Power of Attorney for Minor (Child)

In Maryland, a power of attorney for a minor (child) is not a valid means of assigning guardianship over a minor. While the nomination of a guardian by parents or by last will and testament is often taken into consideration, the state requires that potential guardians file a petition, and a court will ultimately decide who will be responsible for the child.
