False. Naming a health care agent proxy does not take away any of your authority. You always have the right, while you are still competent, to override the decision of your proxy or revoke the directive.
Under the Health Care Proxy Law (Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 201D), any competent adult 18 years of age or over may use this form to appoint a Health Care Agent.
(a) A competent adult may revoke a health care proxy by notifying the agent or a health care provider orally or in writing or by any other act evidencing a specific intent to revoke the proxy.
Additionally, it is important to know that you may change your proxy at any time. To do so, create a new health care proxy document. If you regain the ability to make your own decisions, you can choose to speak on your own behalf again.
In the event of medical incapacitation, usually a family member will be called upon to make any important decisions in the absence of a power of attorney. In this situation, difficulties can arise if there is more than one family member and they differ on the course of medical action.
Normally, one person (not multiple persons to act at one time) is appointed as your health care proxy. It is quite common, however, for you to appoint one or more alternate persons (successors) in the event your first choice proxy is unavailable.

The person you appoint to make your medical decisions is often known as your Patient Advocate. Your Patient Advocate is given the authority to make medical decisions for you in the event that it is determined that you are incapable of making decisions or are unable to communicate, usually due to being incapacitated.
Even if you appoint them as your agent via a health care proxy, the document doesn't become effective at the moment of signing. A doctor must confirm that you have permanently lost the ability to decide for yourself before your spouse can take over the responsibility for your medical care.
A health care proxy does not automatically go into effect but, rather, comes into effect as specified in the document. This condition varies from state to state but most often, the document states that the proxy will come into effect only when and if your doctor declares that you are incapacitated.
