Description

This Statutory Power of Attorney for Health Care gives the person you designate as your agent/attorney in fact the power to make health care decisions for you. Your agent must act consistently with your desires as stated in this Power of Attorney. This document gives your agent the power to consent to your doctor not giving treatment or stopping treatment necessary to keep you alive. You have the right to make health care decisions for yourself as long as you can give informed consent. No treatment may be given over your objection and health care necessary to keep you alive may not be stopped or withheld if you object. The Wake North Carolina Statutory Power of Attorney for Health Care is a legal document that allows an individual, known as the principal, to appoint someone they trust, called the agent, to make important healthcare decisions on their behalf. This power of attorney is specifically designed to address healthcare matters and ensure the principal's wishes are followed, even if they become incapacitated or unable to communicate their preferences. Under Wake North Carolina law, there are two types of statutory power of attorney for health care that individuals can choose from. These options provide flexibility and enable individuals to customize their power of attorney based on their specific needs and preferences. The two types are: 1. Basic Power of Attorney for Health Care: This is the standard form of power of attorney for health care and includes a wide range of healthcare decision-making authority. It allows the agent to make decisions regarding medical treatments, procedures, medications, mental health treatments, and other healthcare-related matters. The principal can provide specific instructions or limitations within the document to guide the agent's decision-making process. 2. Comprehensive Power of Attorney for Health Care: This type of power of attorney grants the agent broader authority than the basic version. In addition to the decision-making powers mentioned earlier, the comprehensive power of attorney allows the agent to handle matters related to long-term care facilities, nursing homes, and medical consent for minors, if applicable. It may also include provisions related to end-of-life decisions, such as the ability to consent to or withhold life-sustaining treatment. Choosing the right type of Wake North Carolina Statutory Power of Attorney for Health Care depends on the individual's preferences and healthcare needs. It is recommended to consult with an attorney or legal professional who specializes in healthcare law to ensure the document accurately reflects the principal's intentions and fully protects their interests.
