A Wyoming minor (child) power of attorney allows parents to temporarily assign parental powers to a trusted individual, usually a family friend or relative. Depending on the rights a parent grants, an agent may have permission to sign off on healthcare or education matters for the child.
This form is useful when the primary parent or guardian can’t tend to their children due to circumstances like business travel, military deployment, illness, disability, or short-term incarceration. The parent grants powers to ensure their child’s well-being in the event of their absence or inability to contribute their full attention and energy to the child.
