Powers of Attorney – Healthcare

Healthcare Power of Attorney, also known as an Advanced Medical Directive (AMD) or living will, is a document that allows another person to make medical decisions on your behalf, either temporarily or permanently, if you are unable to do so yourself.

Plan now for the unexpected.

A Healthcare Power of Attorney is a plan to make some of your healthcare decisions ahead of time and to have someone designated to make decisions regarding your healthcare if you are incapacitated and unable to make your wishes known.   Without a Healthcare Power of Attorney, your loved ones may be unable to access your medical information or actively participate in decision-making.  A Healthcare Power of Attorney helps put a plan in place now, reducing stress on your loved ones should the unexpected occur.

Navigate your options.

Healthcare Powers of Attorney can help a designated person navigate many more significant medical decisions that may need to be made on your behalf.  We can help write a document outlining your wishes regarding medical choices such as life support, resuscitation, antibiotics, feeding tubes, or other primary healthcare concerns.  Having a Healthcare Power of Attorney gives you a voice when you cannot decide for yourself.

We are ready to help.
