A Nevada minor child (parent) of minor power of attorney form allows the parent of a child to delegate parental authority to a caretaker, usually a relative, for a time. Typically, this is necessary when the parent is unavailable due to long-term treatment for a medical condition or being deployed in the military. This form contains the language required to delegate the authority to make educational and medical decisions for the child and generally act as a parent to the caretaker the parent names as such.
It is worth mentioning that a time limit will apply to the effectiveness of this paperwork in the State of Nevada. The form may be set in place only for a temporary period of up to six (6) months.
Long-Term Guardianship – If the parent(s) are seeking to elect another person to handle their minor child(ren) for longer than six (6) months they may do so by filing the necessary papers with the District Court in Your County.
