An Authorization Letter From Parents To Guardian is a crucial legal document used in Nigeria when parents need to temporarily delegate care and decision-making authority for their child to another person. This document becomes necessary in situations such as parental travel, work commitments, educational arrangements, or other circumstances where parents cannot directly care for their child. The letter must comply with Nigerian legal requirements, particularly the Child Rights Act 2003, and should clearly specify the scope of authority, duration, and responsibilities being delegated. It typically includes provisions for medical care, education, travel, and daily decision-making. The document requires proper identification of all parties, clear delineation of granted powers, and must be properly authenticated by a Notary Public or Commissioner for Oaths to be legally valid in Nigeria. This authorization serves as protection for both the appointed guardian and the child, ensuring clear documentation of the temporary guardianship arrangement.
