Form

The statutory form is not required. However, any health care proxy must:

indicate that the principal intends the agent to have authority to make health care decisions on the principal's behalf.

A health care proxy may

Agent's Authority

An agent's authority commences upon a determination that the principal lacks capacity to make health care decisions.

Alternate Agent

the person appointed as agent is not reasonably available, willing and competent to serve as agent, and

that such person is not expected to become reasonably available, willing and competent to make a timely decision given the patient's medical circumstances.

An agent may be disqualified from acting on the principal's behalf pursuant to statutory provisions or under conditions set forth in the proxy.

If, after an alternate agent's authority commences, the person appointed as the initial agent becomes available, willing and competent to serve as agent:

the authority of the alternate agent shall cease and the authority of the agent shall commence; and

the attending physician shall record the change in agent and the reasons therefor in the principal's medical record.

Obligations and Rights of Agent

Subject to any express limitations in the health care proxy, an agent has the authority to make any and all health care decisions on the principal's behalf that the principal could make.
