New Jersey S4532 clarifies emergency parental delegation of care for children and provides an additional method to delegate care.

New Jersey S4532 amends the law to clarify the process for emergency parental delegation of care for children. It allows parents, custodians, or guardians to designate an attorney-in-fact to handle care, custody, and property of minor children or wards in emergencies. The bill provides that the delegation expires one year after execution unless renewed. It also allows an attorney to attest to a delegation if no prior delegation exists and an emergency occurs. The bill defines key terms and ensures that good faith reliance on a delegation provides immunity from liability.
