Typically you should name someone you trust to follow your values and communicate well with medical teams. Consider naming alternates in case your first choice is unavailable. We can help you assess suitability and ensure they understand their duties.
Living wills and healthcare POAs serve different but complementary roles. A POA handles decisions when you cannot speak, while a living will outlines your preferences for specific treatments. Having both provides a fuller plan.
If you lack a healthcare POA and become incapacitated, court involvement may be required to appoint a guardian. This process can be lengthy and less aligned with your preferences. A POA helps avoid that outcome.
Yes. You can update or change your healthcare POA at any time as your circumstances or goals change. We recommend periodic reviews after major life events.
Yes. You can specify limitations on certain powers or require your agent to consult with others before making controversial decisions.
Keep the original in a safe location and provide copies to your physician, the designated agent, and trusted family members. Consider electronic backups as well.
Document preparation times vary, but with a clear plan and prompt signatures, you can have fully executable documents within a few days.
