While full guardianship requires a court order, this affidavit is often used temporarily or for specific purposes, such as authorizing medical treatment or enrolling a child in school when parents are unavailable.

It certifies that the affiant has care, custody, and control of the person (the ward) and accepts financial and legal responsibility for them.
