Sample Temporary Guardianship Letter for Grandparents

A Temporary Guardianship Letter for Grandparents is a formal document prepared by primary carers of a child to provide the child's grandparents with the permission to handle personal and medical matters of the child while their parents or guardians are away. Whenever you have to leave your child in the custody of their grandmother or grandfather for more than a couple of days, you should draft a statement that confirms your intention to appoint them as temporary guardians and states the limits of the guardianship the grandparents have to adhere to.

This document should contain the names of the parents or guardians, their children, and the grandparents entrusted with child care. Indicate the duration of the guardianship and the reason behind it if you like. It is possible to list certain decisions the grandparent is allowed to make on behalf of the child, give them the right to act quickly if an emergency happens, or forbid specific actions like traveling abroad. Add your contact information in case the third party - for instance, a teacher or a hospital administrator - needs to call you and clarify any details.
