The Arizona Minor (Child) Power of Attorney, sometimes known as a parental POA, is the delegation of powers from one party to another concerning certain guardianship rights of a child under the age of eighteen (18). This is generally carried out when a parent needs a trusted relative, family friend, or babysitter to take care of the minor for a period of time. This way, if there are any responsibilities that require the permission of a parent, they will be able to act as an authority. The powers granted by a parent or guardian to an agent can be issued for a maximum of six (6) months (or twelve (12) months for guardians actively members of the military (§ 14-5107)).
