medical power of attorney

A medical power of attorney is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone you trust to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you're unable to communicate your wishes due to illness or injury. This designated person, known as your agent or healthcare proxy, will act in your best interest based on your preferences and values. It ensures that your medical treatment preferences are respected even when you can't speak for yourself. Having this document in place provides clarity and peace of mind for both you and your loved ones during difficult times.
