Form Explanations

This is the most common form but should be taken with the most caution as the person selected will have the ultimate power to act in your presence even if you should become incapacitated and not able to think for yourself.
Medical – Use to create a relationship that allows a person to handle medical decisions on behalf of the other ONLY if he or she cannot speak for themselves. This document serves as a safety net in case something should happen and you would like to have a trusted individual make any and all health care decisions to your benefit.
