A Power of Attorney can be overridden by a court-appointed guardian or conservator and the grantor if they maintain decision-making capacity. In addition, a person with the overriding power of attorney can make decisions and take actions that may supersede those of the existing agent designated by the principal.

The existence of a guardianship does not inherently override parental rights; however, when a guardianship is in place, a parent will have to contest the guardianship in order to regain physical custody of their child.

Oklahoma Child Custody by Power of Attorney: With one limited exception, power of attorneys don't transfer child custody. That one exception is that Oklahoma law allows guardianship by power of attorney. This allows a parent to grant a 1 year power of attorney to someone of their choosing.
