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 a period of up to 12 months, or until the child is being cared for by an institution. If a parent is an active member of the United States military, the Department of Child Services may grant an exception.
