Give her a durable power of attorney. However, if there is another parent, the other parent will have the right to custody. In that instance, it may be better to go with a guardianship.

There are a number of factors that would be considered here. One would be the the age and responsibility of your sister, are you talking about temporary custody or permanent custody. Is there a father in the picture? Speak with a local custody attorney about this to do it righty.

First, what exactly do you want your sister to do, keep the child for a limited period of time or permanently? Second, what about the other parent. He/she may also have a legal say in this. If your intent is to have your sister care for the child for a limited period of time, you can have a lawyer do a very specific power of attorney. If the intention is long term, your sister can file a third party custody claiming neither you nor the other parent are fit parents.
