What is it and what does it do?

It allows another party to authorize medical and surgical procedures on your behalf. If could also authorize your admission to a medical facility of nursing home.

If I don’t have a medical power of attorney, what can happen?

If you are unable to make appropriate decisions as to your medical care or hospital or nursing home admission, your family may have to do it for you. Worse, if your family can not agree, the court may appoint a guardian to make the decision.

What if my mother, father or other loved one is already incompetent and unable to make these important Decisions for themselves?
