Differences Between Power Of Attorney and Guardianship Control: An individual grants a power of attorney, while a court grants guardianship. This means a power of attorney gives the individual more control over the relationship and parameters of authority.
Granting someone power of attorney to care for a child gives that individual many rights and responsibilities, but it does not transfer legal custody. A POA allows you as the agent, the person they have entrusted with the care of your child, the ability to make custodial decisions while your child lives with you.
Key Takeaways: A Power of Attorney lets you choose who will make decisions for you before a crisis occurs, avoiding court involvement. Guardianship is court-appointed and only happens when no legal plan, like a POA, is in place.
