Re: Power of attorney delegating parental authority.
I am not sure what you mean by 'power of attorney delegating parental authority.' If you are referring to a document which permits medical providers to treat your child in your absence, then it is not required that it be notarized, but many hospitals have an internal policy which requires that it be notarized, to reduce their liability.
