WHAT IS A MEDICAL POWER OF ATTORNEY?

A Durable Medical Power of Attorney is another term for a Health Care Proxy. It
is a legal document that allows someone to name an agent or surrogate to make
medical decisions on their behalf if they become incapacitated or unable to make
those decisions on their own.

While the terminology can vary a bit, a Durable Medical Power of Attorney or
Health Care Proxy refer to the same basic concept:

 * Appointing someone you trust to ensure informed consent and carry out your
   care wishes if you cannot
 * Giving the person (known as agent, proxy, surrogate) authority to access
   records and consult doctors on your care options if needed
 * Outlining any specific treatment preferences to guide the person named
 * Only used if you later cannot actively weigh in on your own health decisions

So in essence, a Durable Medical Power of Attorney or Health Care Proxy allow
you to legally designate a person to speak for you regarding medical treatments
if illness or injury prevents you from making those choices independently.

WHAT IS AN ADVANCE DIRECTIVE?

An Advance Directive is a legal document that allows someone to provide
directions about their future medical care and treatment in case they become
incapacitated or unable to communicate their wishes. The two main types of
Advance Directives are:

 1. Living Will - This document lays out instructions and choices about medical
    treatments and end-of-life care options.
 2. Durable Medical Power of Attorney (or Health Care Proxy) - This names an
    agent or surrogate decision-maker who is authorized to make healthcare
    decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so yourself.

The Living Will documents one's direct wishes for medical procedures at end of
life while the Durable Medical Power of Attorney designates someone to decide on
an incapacitated person's behalf for a wider array of health situations.

We focus exclusively on making a high quality and free Durable Medical Power of
Attorney legal form (also known as a Health Care Proxy) that you can download
