Medical Power of Attorney
Medical planning for when the unexpected happens.

When life becomes unpredictable and the unexpected happens, you’ll have peace of mind knowing we are here to ensure your medical care will be carried out the way you imagined it would. As your Medical Power of Attorney (POA), we will ensure the care you desire is the care you will receive, no matter the wishes of your family, friends, or caregivers. From medical crisis, incapacitation, end-of -life care, and funeral/burial procedures, our comprehensive plan of action allows physicians and caregivers to act without guessing. Plans can be as detailed as needed, identifying the point of which direction the bed shall face, to what type of flowers and ornaments adorn the room, to the preferred fragrance of the air – we will be with you or your loved one, every step of the way.

We understand your needs:

Create Peace of Mind

If you ever become too ill or injured to direct your care, your loved ones may have to step in and make decisions for you. This may cause additional strain during an already stressful time. By appointing a trusted confidant to act as your power of attorney, you can create peace of mind for yourself and your loved ones.

Prepare for a Major Medical Procedure

If you’re planning for surgery, you may want to select a power of attorney to make medical decisions for you. This ensures that the medical team will provide the appropriate care according to your wishes. If you like, you can revoke the power of attorney after you recover.

After Being Diagnosed with a Degenerative Disease

Alzheimer’s, cancer, ALS, and Huntington’s disease are all conditions that will eventually make it difficult for you to understand or consent to medical treatment. After diagnosis, you may want to create a medical power of attorney while you’re still feeling well and can communicate your wishes for your care.
