The Importance of Establishing a Medical Power of Attorney for Healthcare Decisions

It can be extremely challenging to legally make healthcare decisions for someone who is incapacitated and unable to voice their wishes—especially when everyone involved does not agree on how to move forward. We encourage all our clients to establish a durable POA for healthcare so a person of your choosing can tell your doctors what actions to take based on your specifically outlined instructions. Our team of Certified Medicaid Planners™ can help you or your loved one establish a Durable POA for healthcare.

Legacy Navigation’s Process for Drafting a Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare

Education

We educate our clients on the purpose of a DPOA for healthcare. We’ll make sure you understand the binding nature of this type of POA and how it is different from general POAs. We can guide you through choosing the individual who will make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you are unable to (an agent).

Document Customization

We complete a thorough consultation to help you articulate your needs, goals, and preferences for healthcare decisions. You can stipulate your preferred healthcare options, end-of-life decisions, and any additional special instructions. We’ll customize your DPOA according to your specifications.

Review & Signing

Your durable power of attorney for healthcare will be thoroughly reviewed for clarity and to ensure it meets all legal requirements. We can facilitate the process of finalizing your DPOA according to the requirements of the state you live in, including witnessing, signing, and notarization if needed.

Benefits of Establishing a Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare Decisions

Peace of Mind

You can rest easy knowing that if you are ever incapacitated and unable to communicate your wishes regarding your care, your DPOA for healthcare will guide your medical team according to your chosen instructions.

Clarity for Family

Having an established durable power of attorney can reduce stress and conflict between family members during a critical health situation. Everyone will be able to clearly understand your wishes and set them into motion.

Legal Obligation

Your durable power of attorney for healthcare legally obligates your agent to act according to your wishes and best interests. This ensures the agent’s decisions will align with your personal values, religious beliefs, and healthcare preferences.
