 | Michigan Minor Child Power of Attorney Form |
The Michigan minor child power of attorney form is a document that will permit a parent to provide permission of care to a selected Guardian on behalf of their child(ren) in the absence of the parents. The document will make provisions for all of the children’s basic needs and entertainment. The document will not allow a guardian to sign for a child to marry or sign for adoption.
