The Georgia Minor Child Power of Attorney is a tool taken advantage of by parental figures who wish to leave their children in the care of a relative, stepparent, or another type of individual approved by the state (for more details refer to § 19-9-122). The execution of the document does not revoke any of the original parents’ rights, but rather gives the recipient of powers the concurrent authority to manage certain aspects of the minor’s life, such as their medical treatment, dental care, and educational decisions/enrollment. To properly implement this instrument, parents/guardians will need to:

  • Identify themselves, the child, and the agent receiving the powers.
  • Provide the relationship of the agent.
  • Sign off on any applicable statements regarding the agent’s criminal history and what powers will be granted.
  • Initial the applicable term of the instrument.
  • Sign the form along with their agent in the presence of a notary public.
