About this Form
This document is an Authorization for Temporary Guardianship of a Minor. This form is appropriate for use when a parent or legal guardian of a minor child wishes to appoint temporary guardianship to another individual or individuals for a specific period of time. This may occur in a variety of circumstances, such as when the parent or legal guardian is unable to care for the child due to work obligations, travel, illness, or other reasons. The form provides a written record of the arrangement and defines the responsibilities and limitations of the temporary guardian in caring for the child.
The form collects information about the child, including the child's full legal name, date of birth, age, and gender, as well as information about the child's medical and dental providers. The form also includes information about the child's parents or legal guardians, the temporary guardians, and an emergency contact. The form includes a section in which the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) provide their authorization and consent for the temporary guardianship arrangement. This section includes information about the start and end dates of the guardianship, as well as the allocation of financial responsibility associated with the child's care.
The parent(s) or legal guardian(s) must sign the form, in addition to the temporary guardians, in which they acknowledge their responsibilities and agree to the terms. Finally, a notary public or other officer must verify the identity of the individuals who will sign the document. They can attach a certificate of acknowledgment or use the one provided within the form.
Temporary Guardianship vs. Full Guardianship
Please note that temporary guardianship is distinct from full guardianship. Temporary guardianship refers to a limited and temporary transfer of parental responsibilities to another individual, while full guardianship involves a more permanent transfer of legal custody and control over the child. In some circumstances, a court may need to approve the temporary guardianship arrangement, and in such cases, consulting an attorney may be advisable.
