Powers of Attorney – Healthcare

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

Plan now for the unexpected.

A Healthcare Power of Attorney is a plan make some of your healthcare decisions ahead of time and to have someone designated to make decisions regarding your healthcare in the event that you are incapacitated and not able to make your wishes known.   Without a Healthcare Power of Attorney, your loved ones may not be able to access your medical information or actively participate in decision making.  A Healthcare Power of Attorney helps put a plan in place now, which will reduce stress on your loved ones, should the unexpected occur.
