A Nebraska delegation of parental (minor child) power of attorney form is a document that parent(s) can use to appoint someone to care for their child(ren) temporarily. This declares the temporary caretaker has the parental approval required to make medical and educational decisions on behalf of the parent’s child. There are times when it becomes necessary to place your child in the hands of another while you deal with military deployment, a serious health issue, or are going to be away for an extended period of time. This gives your trusted caretaker the ability to make decisions in the event you can’t be reached.
The document is valid for a period of six (6) months from the date of commencement.
Laws – § 30-2604
