Power Of Attorney Form (Page 6 of 8) in pdf

5. A parent, guardian, or custodian who creates a second or subsequent power of

attorney regarding a child who is the subject of a prior power of attorney must file the

power of attorney with the juvenile court of the county in which the attorney in fact

resides or any other court that has jurisdiction over the child under a previously filed

motion or proceeding. On filing, the court will schedule a hearing to determine

whether the power of attorney is in the child's best interest.

6. This power of attorney does not affect the rights of the child's parents, guardian, or

custodian regarding any future proceedings concerning the custody of the child or

the allocation of the parental rights and responsibilities for the care of the child and

does not give the attorney in fact legal custody of the child.

7. A person or entity that relies on this power of attorney, in good faith, has no

obligation to make any further inquiry or investigation.

8. This power of attorney terminates on the occurrence of whichever of the following

occurs first:

a. One year elapses following the date the power of attorney is notarized;

b. The power of attorney is revoked in writing by the person who created it;

c. The child ceases to live with the grandparent who is the attorney in fact;

d. The power of attorney is terminated by court order;

e. The death of the child who is the subject of the power of attorney; or

f. The death of the grandparent designated as the attorney in fact.

If this power of attorney terminates other than by the death of the attorney in fact, the

grandparent who served as the attorney in fact shall notify, in writing, all of the

following:

a. Any schools, health care providers, or health insurance coverage provider

with which the child has been involved through the grandparent;

b. Any other person or entity that has an ongoing relationship with the child

or grandparent such that the other person or entity would reasonably rely

on the power of attorney unless notified of the termination;

c. The court in which the power of attorney was filed after its creation; and

d. The parent who is not the residential parent and legal custodian of the

child who is required to be given notice of its creation. The grandparent

shall make the notifications not later than one week after the date the

power of attorney terminates.

If this power of attorney is terminated by written revocation of the person who

created it, or the revocation is regarding a second or subsequent power of attorney,

a copy of the revocation must be filed with the court with which that power of

attorney was filed.
