Your daughter can sign a Power of Attorney to your sister and brother-in-law living in Colorado. General powers of attorney are only good for 6 months in Arizona, but I cannot comment on how long they are valid in Colorado. The Power of Attorney should give your sister and brother-in-law enough time to obtain guardianship in Colorado over the child or proceed with another custody situation (adoption or in loco parentis custody).
