Florida Certification of Person's Incompetence to Consent to Treatment and Notification of Health Care Surrogate/Proxy is a legal document used in the state of Florida to designate a health care surrogate or proxy to act on behalf of an individual who has been deemed legally incapacitated or incompetent to make decisions regarding his or her own medical care. The form includes a section for the designation of a health care surrogate, who must be 18 years or older and able to make healthcare decisions on the patient's behalf. In addition, the form includes a section for the designation of a proxy, who may be a person or an entity such as a lawyer, a guardian, or a healthcare provider. It is important to note that the health care surrogate and proxy designation will only be valid if the individual signing the form has been declared legally incompetent, and that the declaration must be made by two qualified physicians. The two main types of Florida Certification of Person's Incompetence to Consent to Treatment and Notification of Health Care Surrogate/Proxy are the Notice of Designation of Health Care Surrogate and the Notice of Designation of Proxy. The Notice of Designation of Health Care Surrogate is used to designate an individual to make medical decisions on behalf of a legally incompetent person. The Notice of Designation of Proxy is used to designate who will receive notification of any health care decisions made on behalf of a legally incompetent person.
