An Indiana minor (child) power of attorney allows parents and legal guardians to temporarily transfer the responsibilities of caring for their minor child to another individual.
This grants the chosen individual all parental authority for up to 12 months or until the child is being cared for by an institution. The Department of Child Services may grant an exception if a parent is an active member of the United States military.
