The North Dakota Minor Child Power of Attorney asserts a legal function allotting parental permissions to another individual to care for a child on behalf of a parent or parents. The lawful issuance of rights is defined within the document’s provisions to be utilized for a period no greater than six (6) months at a time. Instituting this type of contract allows a parent to designate a selected adult to make decisions for an indicated minor in the event they are not present or able to do so. Enacting the POA will initiate the passage of rights to an attorney-in-fact but will not sever the parent’s rights.
