When to use this form

For parents or legal custodians who need a trusted adult to care for a minor for a set time. Use it for travel, medical recovery, military orders, or while you secure housing. It lets you name a caregiver, set start and end dates, and define what decisions they can make, such as medical care, school matters, and travel. If the child will attend school under the caregiver, pair it with the Educational guardianship form. To move school files between districts, submit a Student records request form. With clear terms in writing, doctors, schools, and programs can verify authority fast and avoid delays.

Must Ask Temporary Guardianship Questions

What are the start and end dates for this arrangement?
Clear dates show when the caregiver's authority begins and ends, which prevents overlap or gaps. Providers and schools use the dates to decide if consent is valid today.
What decisions is the caregiver allowed to make (medical, education, travel, housing)?
Spelling out the scope avoids confusion and protects your intent. It tells doctors, principals, and programs exactly what the caregiver may authorize.
Who are the parents or legal custodians, and how can they be reached?
Up-to-date contacts enable quick confirmation in emergencies or if plans change. It also helps agencies verify identity and revoke authority if needed.
Which documents will the caregiver carry for the child (ID, birth certificate, insurance card)?
Having copies speeds verification for schools, clinics, and travel. If you need official copies, submit a Document request form.
Will the caregiver need access to school records or transcripts?
If yes, include written consent so records can be shared. Many schools require a Transcript release authorization form to release grades or attendance.
