Understanding Healthcare Power of Attorney
A healthcare power of attorney lets you designate an "agent" to make medical decisions on your behalf if you become unable to communicate your wishes. Choose someone you trust to handle important, sometimes life-or-death, decisions for you. Make sure they understand your preferences on issues like lifesaving measures, DNR orders, and end-of-life care.
Why You Need a Healthcare Power of Attorney
Authorizing a healthcare power of attorney ensures your interests and wishes are respected when you can't express them yourself. A doctor must first determine that you are medically incapable of making decisions before your agent can act on your behalf.
Your agent can make healthcare decisions for you any time you’re unable to do so—not just at the end of life. For example, if you’re unconscious after an accident, your agent can authorize medical treatment. Once you recover, you resume making your own healthcare decisions as usual.
