Alaska Minor Child Power of Attorney Requirements

Under Alaska Stat. § 13.26.066, a parent or guardian of a minor child may delegate powers over the care or custody of the child to another person. The parent or guardian does this with a properly executed power of attorney that is substantially in the form the statute provides.^[1]

In plain words, the power of attorney has to be substantially in the form that the statute sets out. The PDF this page hands out is that form. The statutory form in Alaska Stat. § 13.26.066(f) has the attorney-in-fact sign a Section 7 acceptance of the designation.^[1]

Powers a Parent Can and Cannot Delegate

A parent or guardian may delegate one or more powers regarding the care or custody of the minor child.^[1] The statutory form gives two choices. Section 3 delegates all of your power and authority regarding the care and custody of the child, including the right to enroll the child in school, to inspect and obtain copies of education and other records, to attend school activities, and to give or withhold consent for school activities, medical treatment and dental treatment. Section 4 delegates only the specific powers and responsibilities you write in.^[2]

The statute does not let a parent or guardian delegate the power to consent to any of these:

• The marriage or adoption of the minor child.
• The performance or inducement of an abortion on or for the minor child.
• The termination of parental rights to the minor child.^[1]

Filling Out the Alaska Minor Child Power of Attorney Form

The PDF this page hands out is the statutory form that Alaska Stat. § 13.26.066(f) sets out, as published by the Alaska Office of Public Advocacy.^[2] It has two pages: Sections 1 to 7, then an acknowledgment for a notary public. The PDF has no fillable fields, so print it and write by hand, or type your entries with the FormsPal PDF editor. The nine steps below follow the form in order and use its own section names.

The screenshots under each step show the Alaska statutory form for a power of attorney to delegate parental powers, the official Alaska form, with sample entries in blue, so you can see where each answer goes. The names, addresses, dates and phone numbers are examples only.

1. Section 1 (page 1). Certify that you are the parent or guardian by writing each minor child's full name and date of birth. The form has lines for up to three children.

   

2. Section 2 (page 1). Write the full name of the person you designate as attorney-in-fact, their street address, city, state and zip code, and their home and work telephone numbers.

   

3. Section 3 (page 1). Section 3 is printed in full and needs no entry. It delegates all of your power and authority regarding the care and custody of each child named in Section 1.
4. Section 4 (pages 1 and 2). To delegate only some powers, write the specific powers and responsibilities on the lines. The sample uses Section 4. Either way, the delegation does not include the power to consent to the marriage or adoption of the child, the performance or inducement of an abortion on or for the child, or the termination of parental rights.^[2]

   

5. Section 5 (page 2). Write the beginning and ending dates. The form says the power of attorney is effective for a period not to exceed one year, and that you reserve the right to revoke it at any time.^[2]

   

6. Section 6 (page 2). Use Section 6 instead of Section 5 only if you are a military parent or guardian. Write the dates your active duty is scheduled to begin and estimated to end. The form says the power of attorney will not last more than one year, or the term of your active duty service plus 30 days, whichever period is longer.^[2]
7. By: (Parent/guardian signature) (page 2). Sign on the By line. You and the attorney-in-fact then appear before the notary public who completes the acknowledgment (step 9).

   

8. Section 7 (page 2). The attorney-in-fact signs on the (Attorney-in-fact signature) line, under the sentence "I hereby accept my designation as attorney-in-fact for the minor child/children identified in this power of attorney."^[2]

   

9. State, Judicial District and ACKNOWLEDGMENT (page 2). This part is for the notary public. The State and Judicial District lines name where the acknowledgment is taken. The notary fills in the date and the names of the parent or guardian and the attorney-in-fact, who personally appear and each acknowledge that they executed the power of attorney. The notary then signs, adds a seal if any, and fills in the title and rank and the date the commission expires.^[2]

   

How to Sign and Use the Alaska Minor Child Power of Attorney

After the last field is filled in, the form still has to be signed, copied and stored. Follow the steps below in order. Your agent and the people who deal with your agent will want a clean, complete copy.

1. Print the finished form and check the names and dates once more.
2. The statutory form. You sign on the By line, and the attorney-in-fact signs the Section 7 acceptance. The form ends with one notary acknowledgment, in which a notary public certifies that the parent or guardian and the attorney-in-fact personally appeared and each acknowledged that each executed the power of attorney.^[2] Both of you appear before the notary public who completes it.
3. The FormsPal template from Create My Document. The template is a separate document, not the statutory form. Under Alaska Stat. § 13.26.066(a), a parent or guardian may delegate these powers by a properly executed power of attorney that is substantially in the form provided in subsection (f).^[1] That form includes the Section 7 acceptance and the acknowledgment described above.^[1]
4. Talk it through with your agent and give your agent a copy.
5. Make more copies for the people and offices that will deal with your agent, such as the child's school or healthcare provider.
6. Keep the original in a safe place and tell your agent where it is.
7. Before the end date, decide whether the child still needs an agent. If so, sign a new power of attorney.
