WHAT IS MEDICAL POWER OF ATTORNEY?

Allows you to choose a person you trust to make medical decisions on your behalf.

A Medical Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows you (the principal) to authorize a person (your agent) to make medical decisions on your behalf in the event you become incapacitated.

Appointing a Medical Power of Attorney (POA) — also referred to as a health power of attorney or durable power of attorney for health care — is important to have because if you ever fall into a coma, lose your ability to communicate, or experience a mental health emergency, you’ll have a trusted person there to make critical decisions that are in your best interest.

WHAT TO INCLUDE IN YOUR MEDICAL POWER OF ATTORNEY

We’ll help you get it done right.

When completing your Medical Power of Attorney, think about the different responsibilities you would authorize your agent to take care of. Your agent can make decisions regarding:

  • Doctors you’re comfortable working with

  • Which tests or surgeries your doctor can perform and the types of drugs they can prescribe

  • How aggressively to treat different diseases

  • How long you’re on life support

  • Your quality of life versus taking extreme measures to extend your life
