Oklahoma Minor Child Power of Attorney Form

The Oklahoma Minor Child Power of Attorney is a contractual preparation devised for the parent of a child to apportion parental rights to another person temporarily. Should circumstances develop where a parent or parents of a minor will be absent on a short-term basis, granting powers to another adult to care for the child may be an ideal course of action.
