We can prepare an HCPOA so your wishes will be respected.
Everyone’s hope is to remain healthy enough that they always have the ability to make healthcare decisions for themselves in the moment. The reality is that not everyone has that privilege. A person may become incapacitated for a variety of reasons, and to get the treatment they need, someone will have to make decisions on their behalf. The good news is that you can prepare for this possibility in your own life with an HCPOA (Health Care Power of Attorney).
An HCPOA allows you to choose who will be your agent, the trusted individual making healthcare decisions for you. This could be one person or more than one, but it’s important to recognize that every agent must agree on care or else they may have to go to court, which could delay your care. Your HCPOA will also allow you to outline your wishes for certain healthcare decisions, including end-of-life decisions, and it allows you to specify the authority being granted to your agent (e.g., consenting to or refusing treatments, accessing medical records, choosing facilities).
