In the article, we will consider how to issue a power of attorney to a grandmother for a child.
Situations in life are different. Sometimes parents have to leave a minor child to raise their grandmother or send them together on a trip. Legally, they are legal representatives of a minor, and that is why it is necessary to draw up a power of attorney when someone else remains with the child for a long time, for example, a grandmother. A power of attorney per person may sometimes be required from a legal point of view.
In various Russian regions, special regulations and laws may apply, so such a form is always useful. If, for example, parents leave for a long period, they must in any case be safe and draw up a notarized document, because no one can predict in advance what will happen to the child during the absence of legal representatives. The existing power of attorney for the grandmother for the child from the parents will greatly simplify the process of looking after the minor, and will help to avoid many difficult situations when the presence of mom or dad is legally necessary.
Why does grandmother need a power of attorney?
The grandmother is considered the closest relative to the child after the parents, but legally can not act as a representative or guardian. In some situations, a notarized power of attorney is required, but sometimes you can do without it. In most cases, such a document is needed to travel abroad with a minor child, to represent his interests in kindergarten, school and other educational institutions. In addition, a power of attorney may be required when giving consent to the emergency hospitalization of the child. In such cases, an official confirmation of rights and powers is necessary.
There are cases when a power of attorney for a grandmother for a child may be required, but from the point of view of legislation this is not necessary. For example, it is not needed when traveling in Russia. Moreover, a birth certificate is sufficient. But such a region of the country as the Krasnodar Territory is considered the most “responsible” in terms of children. There, the conductors on trains always require a grandmother's power of attorney for a minor, but this is illegal. In order to avoid problems and conflicts, before the trip, parents are advised to write permission on their own, and such a document for such a movement of the child will be enough.
In some regions, this practice is observed. In schools, kindergartens, circles require this document only when taking into account the interests of the minor. If teachers see that the minor was left without parental care, they should, according to their official powers, contact the guardianship authorities. To prevent this from happening, you must provide them with a power of attorney for the grandmother for the child. If the baby is under her supervision, you must write a document for hospitalization and emergency medical events. If an accident occurs, doctors will not be able to perform surgery or take intensive care measures without a power of attorney.
General content of the document
This document must contain all the necessary information about the child, his parents and the person to whom the power of attorney is issued (grandmother). The notarized document must necessarily contain the following information: about registration, passport details, place of residence and stay of parents. It is also necessary to indicate the reasons for their absence.
Information about the grandmother should consist of: passport and registration data, and about the child from the passport data (if any), data of the birth certificate. In addition, the degree of relationship should be indicated and confirmed. If the grandmother is the mother of the father of the child, then a birth certificate should be provided. The same goes for the mother of the minor. The power of attorney for the child for the grandmother should also contain information about the purpose of her provision, about the rights and obligations of the temporary guardian. This item should be described in great detail so that there are no complex legal disagreements. Next, information about the notary is indicated - the series and number of the passport, stamp, signature and date of certification of the document, as well as the signature of the grandmother and parents. These are the main points that must be present in the power of attorney necessarily. Depending on the purpose, there may be other additional information.

What information needs to be specified in the permission to leave?
A document that confirms permission from parents to leave a minor abroad with a guardian (grandmother) contains the following information:
- about parents;
- about the child;
- about the guardian;
- about the duration of the child’s stay on the trip;
- about the duties and rights of the grandmother;
- about the place of their stay;

- for how long the power of attorney is issued;
- signature of all parties;
- the date.
The main feature of the content of the power of attorney for the grandmother for the child is a note on the length of stay and place. If a grandmother with a grandson is going to visit a foreign resort, then parents should clearly indicate in the power of attorney that they allow the removal of their child to this or that country. When traveling in Russia, a power of attorney, which is notarized, is not needed. A document written by one of the parents is enough.
What is written in the power of attorney for raising a child?
With a long absence of parents (for example, when carrying out work activities in another country), you need to draw up a power of attorney, which involves permission issued to the grandmother, to raise a child. Such a document confirms the right of this person to teach, instruct and educate his grandson. Previously, there was such a power of attorney, which was legal evidence that the child is under supervision.
Temporary guardianship
Today, according to Russian laws, instead of such a document, it is necessary to draw up temporary guardianship and the matter will not be limited to one document. This is a rather laborious and lengthy process, but it is considered mandatory in the absence of parents. Otherwise, guardianship authorities will begin conducting inspections and may result in the deprivation of parental rights. To prevent this from happening, you need to spend time and draw up a document that will confirm temporary custody.

By interests, we understand the decision to choose a kindergarten, school of other educational or medical institutions for a minor. A similar form entitles grandmother to sign various documents on behalf of her parents, to pay state fees. This document should contain all the information about the guardian of the parents and the child, information about the notary. In addition, it indicates the rights and interests that the guardian has the right to represent. The following is the signature of the parties and the date of issuance of the power of attorney for the grandmother from parents to the child.
Who is the document?
A power of attorney is drawn up for the grandmother on behalf of both parents. If one of them was missing or died, then it is necessary to submit the relevant documents that will confirm this. A power of attorney to represent the legal interests of a minor may be compiled by the child on his own if he has reached the age of 14. Permission can be issued in any form - the law has no restrictions on this issue. The main thing is that the document contains all the important information. Initially, information about the parents is required, in turn. After that comes the block of information about the guardian, then the part that states that the parent can trust the grandmother of his child.

When a grandmother travels with a child, a power of attorney must be certified.
How to certify a document?
The document can be written at home independently and provided for certification to a notary. In this case, the presence of a child and grandmother is not necessary. You can also write a power of attorney for a direct visit to the notary's office. Then the presence of the child and grandmother will be a prerequisite for paperwork. An exit permit must be certified without fail. It must be accompanied by the signature and seal of the representative of the law. A similar service is provided by any notary company.
