What is the name of your state? Texas
My sister died this month, leaving an 11 year old son in my custody. I have 2 documents - General Power of Attorney and Declaration of Guardian In The Event of Incompetence or Need of Guardian. The child has a father somewhere, but he cannot be located. He also has a 23 year old sister who lives in Oklahoma. We are located in Texas. My sister was a drug addict and CPS intervened twice, giving me temporary custody both times. Now that my sister is gone, her daughter has volunteered to take the child to raise. I was told I have to notify CPS that my sister has died & get their approval for the child to be placed - is that ture? Also, how do I give custody to the sister? Can I take the child across the state line legally? Thank you for any advice.
