Arizona Power of Attorney-Parental is a legal document that allows a parent to give another adult the authority to act on their behalf in specific situations. This document is used to appoint a legal representative, known as an “agent”, to take care of legal matters, such as making decisions about a minor child’s education and medical care while the parent is not available. There are two types of Arizona Power of Attorney-Parental: general and limited. A General Power of Attorney for Parental Rights grants the agent broad authority over all matters related to the minor child, while a Limited Power of Attorney for Parental Rights grants the agent authority over specific matters (such as medical decisions) only. Both types of Power of Attorney-Parental must be signed by the parent, witnessed by two adults, and notarized.
