257A.04 Duration.
Subdivision 1. In general. Unless canceled earlier under section 257A.07 by a parent or the designated caregiver, a designated caregiver agreement is effective for four years, after which date a new agreement may be entered. The new agreement may name the same or a different designated caregiver. A designated caregiver agreement automatically terminates as to any child when that child reaches age 18 or is lawfully married.
Subd. 2. Death of a parent. If a parent dies while a designated caregiver agreement is in effect, and there is no living parent able to care for the child, the designated caregiver shall care for the child until a guardian appointed by will is able to take custody of the child or until a court order otherwise provides for the care of the child. However, the designated caregiver may cancel the agreement at any time under section 257A.07.
