Power of Attorney for Parental Consent: What You Need to Know
Life happens, and sometimes you need to leave your kids in someone else’s care. A Power of Attorney for Parental Consent lets you officially give a trusted friend or family member permission to care for your child while you’re away.

What if Something Happens to You?
Hopefully, you’ll never need it, but a Guardian Designation form ensures your kids are in safe hands if the unexpected happens. This document allows the person you choose as guardian to go to court and gain legal guardianship immediately—no delays, no confusion.
Think of it like an insurance policy for your child’s future—except it only costs $15.
Don’t leave important decisions about your kids up to the courts. Complete your Guardian Designation form today for peace of mind.
Attention Parents of College Students!
Your child may be 18, but that doesn’t mean they’re ready to handle medical or financial decisions alone. Without the right documents, you could be left out of critical choices if something happens.
A Durable Power of Attorney and Patient Advocate Designation allows your college-aged child to legally appoint you to help with financial and medical decisions when needed.
Your young adult needs to sign these forms—make sure they do! It’s a simple step that could make a huge difference.
