At The Law Office of Nikki Farris, we understand the importance of planning for the future. Part of that planning includes making decisions about your healthcare in the event that you become incapacitated and unable to make those decisions for yourself. Our medical power of attorney services can help ensure that your wishes are carried out in the event of a medical emergency.
What is a Medical Power of Attorney?
A medical power of attorney is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so. This person, known as your agent or surrogate, will have the authority to make medical decisions based on your wishes and preferences. This can include decisions about life-sustaining treatment, surgical procedures, and other medical interventions.
Why Do I Need a Medical Power of Attorney?
Without a medical power of attorney, your healthcare decisions may be left in the hands of family members or healthcare providers who may not know your wishes or preferences. This can lead to conflicts and disagreements that can be stressful and difficult for everyone involved. By appointing a trusted agent to make these decisions for you, you can ensure that your wishes are respected and your healthcare needs are met.
