Check with an experienced family law attorney in your locality. In some places, a parent or guardian can give power of attorney to another adult for a temporary period. State laws vary.

If the older brother is at least nineteen years of age (the age of majority in Nebraska), you can sign a Temporary Delegation of Parental Powers on the form provided by the Nebraska Supreme Court on their pro se web site. This can be revoked at any time and does not supersede your parental powers - simply also grants authority to the brother. The delegation cannot last longer than 6 months, but you can sign another Temporary Delegation when the 6 months expires. Best wishes!

If the older brother is an adult, a Durable Power of Attorney and Appointment of Guardian can be used. It should be drafted by a lawyer. However, there are dangers in using such a document. For example, if you are in a situation where child custody may become contested, then the Durable Power of Attorney and Appointment of Guardian document could be used against you to argue that you have been unwilling or unable to care for your younger child. Consult an experienced family law attorney before taking any action.

You would need to establish guardianship in your older son.

That would require a guardianship.
