The recent Damar Hamlin incident reminds us that even for a professional athlete your health can change quickly and dramatically. Choose who will make your healthcare decisions while you are able. A “Power of Attorney for Healthcare” is a legal document that allows a trusted person to make life-changing health care decisions for you.
What is a “Power of Attorney”?
A Power of Attorney (POA) is a document that gives someone you trust the authority to act on your behalf if you become incapacitated or are unable to make decisions for yourself. It allows them to make decisions about your healthcare, finances, and other important matters.
The person who holds the Power of Attorney is known as the “attorney-in-fact” or “agent”. They have the legal power to make decisions for you, including signing documents on your behalf, accessing bank accounts and other financial records, and getting access to health information. It is important that you choose someone you trust completely as they will be making decisions in your best interest. Contact me today to help you create an Estate Plan including a Powers of Attorney.
