Powers of Attorney (POA) and Short-Term Guardianship documents are vital tools that help individuals plan for the unexpected. Powers of attorney allow people to appoint an agent to make healthcare or property decisions in the event of incapacity, while short-term guardianships let parents ensure care for their minor children without going to court, especially in cases of travel, medical procedures, or immigration-related concerns. Both opportunities provide meaningful ways to support clients’ stability and peace of mind.

To volunteer for the clinics below, email probono@nslegalaid.org and indicate the clinic you will be participating in.

Short-term guardianships are a means for parents to ensure the care of their minor children without going to court. They are useful if a parent is concerned with deportation, traveling out of town, having a medical procedure, or simply unavailable for a specified duration of time. While any parent will benefit from a short-term guardianship plan, they are especially crucial given potential changes in US immigration laws. Volunteer attorneys can expect to meet with clients and complete statutory short-term guardianship forms that best reflect the clients’ wishes for the care of their children. No experience is necessary, but all volunteers must complete a short-term guardianship training session for 1.0 hour of CLE credit here: https://youtu.be/Grl6V8GnLCo.
