Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia

Re: Power of Attorney

I think you misunderstand the purpose of a power of attorney. Only a person over 18 can give a power of attorney. Just to be safe, you should consult with a local attorney about using the probate court's guardianship procedures.

Re: Power of Attorney

I am confused by the wording of your question. A power of attorney is not used for caring for a minor child. Matters concerning custody and/or guardianship must be determined by a court. If you are going to be caring for someone else's minor child on a temporary basis that is done va guardianship in the probate courts. It is not an online form, although some of the basic court paperwork is on the court website. Unless you are familiar with probate court procedure, an attorney is recommended. If the custody change is permanent, an adoption may be an option and that definitely requires legal counsel.
