Health Care Power of Attorney

Health Care Power of Attorney

 This document gives the person you designate, your health care agent, broad powers to make health care decisions, including mental health treatment decisions, for you.  Except to the extent that you express specific limitations or restrictions on the authority of your health care agent, this power includes the power to consent to your doctor not giving treatment or stopping treatment necessary to keep you alive, admit you to a facility, and administer certain treatments and medications. This power exists only as to those health care decisions for which you are unable to give informed consent. 

 This document does not impose a duty on your health care agent to exercise granted powers, but when a power is exercised, your health care agent will have to use due care to act in your best interests and in accordance with this document. For mental health treatment decisions, your health care agent will act according to how the health care agent believes you would act if you were making the decision.  Because the powers granted by this document are broad and sweeping, you should discuss your wishes concerning life sustaining procedures, mental health treatment, and other health care decisions with your health care agent and doctor. 

If You or a Loved One  would like to sit down and discuss the need for the above described document(s), please contact us at (919) 424-8319.
