Legal Papers Crucial For Minors Trip

Q:For a high school graduation gift, our daughter is going to Italy with her aunt. Because she is a minor, are there any documents we should obtain in the event she needs medical attention while overseas?

A: There absolutely are. You should create a power-of-attorney document allowing your child’s aunt to authorize medical treatment, and that’s not all. Current concerns about international child abduction means your daughter might need to prove she has parental consent to leave the country, so you should also prepare a notarized statement to that effect, signed by both of you.

Q: Any recommendations for a place to stay in Jodhpur, India? I would like to stay in the city center, but it seems those places don’t get good reviews.
