Mississippi Minor Child Power of Attorney Form

The Mississippi Minor Child Power of Attorney is the statutory form to delegate parental or legal custodian powers over someone under eighteen (18) years. When a parent or legal guardian knows they will be away from their child, they can use this document to ensure that the minor’s caretaker can authorize any activity concerning the youth’s education, health care, or dental work.
