What is a healthcare power of attorney?
A healthcare power of attorney, also known as a surrogate designation, allows you to appoint a healthcare surrogate. In other words, this is a document that allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions about your medical care if you are incapacitated. Having this document in place is a way to ensure your wishes are carried out rather than the wishes of others who may not know what you want.

Common Questions
Q: Do I need a healthcare power of attorney?
A: A healthcare power of attorney is typically used in combination with a living will. A living will will only become effective if you are incapacitated and a doctor renders your condition terminal. With a healthcare power of attorney your condition does not need to be rendered terminal in order for the healthcare power of attorney to become effective.
Q: What happens if I do not have a healthcare power of attorney?
A: If you become incapacitated and are not deemed to have a terminal condition by a doctor, without these protections in place, important decisions may well end up being made for you by a judges who know nothing about you as an individual.
