Alaska Power of Attorney Over a Minor by Parent or Guardian is a legal document that allows a parent or guardian to appoint another person to temporarily take care of their minor child’s affairs and decisions while they are unable to do so. This can include medical decisions, financial decisions, and other matters related to the minor’s wellbeing. There are two types of Alaska Power of Attorney Over a Minor by Parent or Guardian: Limited Power of Attorney and General Power of Attorney. A Limited Power of Attorney allows a parent or guardian to appoint a person to make decisions only in specific areas or for a specific amount of time. This type of power of attorney can be used for a single transaction or a limited list of specific tasks. A General Power of Attorney allows a parent or guardian to appoint someone to make decisions on their behalf for all matters related to the minor’s wellbeing and legal matters. This type of power of attorney is more encompassing than a limited power of attorney and can be used for an indefinite period of time. Alaska Power of Attorney Over a Minor by Parent or Guardian must be signed by the parent or guardian in the presence of a notary public and must be filed with the court in order to be valid.
