A Kentucky minor (child) power of attorney is a legal document that allows a parent or legal guardian to authorize another adult to make healthcare and educational decisions on behalf of their child.
This temporary arrangement is helpful if a parent expects to be unavailable due to work, education, illness, military service, or other reasons. Once signed, the attorney-in-fact can make decisions related to the child’s education and health, except for HIV/AIDS testing and controlled substance testing.
The agreement can last for up to six to twelve months and can only be revoked in writing by the legal parent or guardian who authorized it.
