Understanding Durable Power of Attorney
Anyone over the age of 18 is able to appoint a power of attorney. The document will outline all of your wishes and will designate a person to serve in that role. He or she will be known as your patient advocate. The person acting as your advocate will need to accept the responsibility by signing the document you have drawn up. The document allows you the flexible to give the person power over decisions related to both your mental and physical health.
When you sit down with our team at Grewal Law PLLC, we will go over with you all the choices you can outline within the document. The options outlined for the patient advocate are based on your wants and can be as detailed as you see fit. These wishes may include whether or not you want to be resuscitated after going into cardiac arrest or if you want to receive a feeding tube to provide nourishment. You have the power to designate what decisions the patient advocate will have over your care.
Every person views medical care differently and may want different care provided at the end of his or her life. Do not leave your family with having to make these tough decisions on their own. Take time to have a durable power of attorney drafted to make these choices simple for your loved ones. In addition, drafting the document will keep your fate from being placed in the hands of a guardian appointed by the probate court.
