An HIPAA authorization is a written permission that allows specific health information to be shared with named recipients for a defined purpose. It is useful in estate planning and probate when information needs to be shared with an agent, executor, or attorney. If you’re unsure what to include, we can help tailor the form to your needs.
Recipients may include your attorney, executor, guardian, or other trusted individuals. Each recipient should be clearly identified, and the scope of information disclosed should be specifically described.
Revoking an authorization ends future disclosures, but it does not retract disclosures already made under the authorization. We help you draft revocation provisions and explain any limitations.
