A temporary guardianship form (short-term guardian is the correct name) is used for an informal guardianship that you can authorize yourself as opposed to one that requires court approval. Our forms are designed to give short-term guardianship without having to going through a court procedure. They do need to be witnessed and notarized which can be easily done at your local bank.

A short-term guardianship, healthcare power of attorney, and caregiver's authorization affidavit are specific forms to give another adult the short-term guardianship over a minor child for a specific length of time decided by the parents. In most states you are considered a minor until you are 18 years old.

Whether a child is being registered for school, staying with a relative while you are away, or staying with someone because of an emergency, it's always a good idea to have short-term guardianship forms giving another competent adult the permission to care for your minor child.

Important Note About School Enrollment

If the short-term guardian will be registering and enrolling the child for school, additional legal language is almost always required by the school. Without an attorney-drafted caregiver's authorization affidavit, health care power of attorney, and a medical information document incorporated with your guardianship form, the school is likely to refuse your paperwork.

A Recent Satisfied Customer Had This to Say:

I would like to let you know how very satisfied I was as a customer using this site. I needed to show proof that I had temporary guardianship of my niece to go to school. The school was giving me the run around about getting a document like yours. I was even directed to go to the local court house and get an attorney which I had no time for.

I was browsing different sites and found EXACTLY what I needed from your document site. I was able to purchase the form, fill it out, and get it notarized quickly. My niece was able to start school immediately!

Thanks again!  Naisha T.

Child Playing Catch

Some of the important provisions are guardianship forms contain:

  • Giving the short-term guardian a health care power of attorney and the right to approve or decline medical treatment in case the minor child is confronted with an illness or injury while the parent is away. To complete and process all necessary insurance claims and documents.
  • To make all decisions, sign all documents and grant permission about the child's education, including school enrollment, school activities, school trips and school conferences.
  • The document will qualify as a caregiver authorization affidavit under applicable law.
  • To perform all matters, to complete any documents for the custody and care of the child or children as the parents could do.
  • Includes a special travel clause to give permission for the child or children to travel with the short-term guardian. If needed, you have the choice to set restrictions on travel.
  • Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. (HIPAA compliant)
  • Choose a specific length of time for the guardianship.
  • A separate revocation form when you want to end the temporary custody of your child.


Medical Information Form

In most situations you will need to provide a hospital, doctor, dentist or other health professional with comprehensive medical information before any minor can be treated. A medical information form and healthcare power of attorney are included with our guardianship forms. The medical information form includes any medical conditions the child has, medication the child is taking, insurance information and parents contact information.


Caution Using Other Forms

It is strongly suggested you do not use a form with the title of

“AUTHORIZATION FOR TEMPORARY GUARDIANSHIP OF MINOR”

These types of forms also contain temporary guardian language in the document. Although these forms are offered on the Internet, they are not drafted properly and are likely to be refused. The term temporary guardianship is only used, recognized, and issued by the courts and cannot be issued by parents.

The Correct title for the guardian form should be:

APPOINTMENT OF SHORT-TERM GUARDIAN FOR MINOR CHILD(REN) AND
DURABLE HEALTHCARE POWER OF ATTORNEY (Click to view sample)

The term "short-term guardianship" should also be used within the document.
