A parent may choose to delegate his or her parental rights to another person for up to one year. This is often called a Delegation of Powers by Parent or Guardian. It can be revoked by the parents or guardians at any time for any reason, AS 13.26.066. You can fill out Power of Attorney Over a Minor By Parent or Guardian, PG-701 . You will need to check a box stating whether you are delegating all or specific limited powers and responsibilities to another person and also fill in the amount of time it will be valid. You do not file this form in court, but instead provide it to the person to whom you are delegating powers and keep a copy for yourself.
