What Is A Durable Power Of Attorney?

A durable power of attorney for health care, also called a medical power of attorney, is a legal document that lets you appoint a trusted person (an agent) to make medical decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated.

You can create a durable power of attorney by following these steps:

  • Find an estate planning lawyer: An experienced estate planning attorney can help you outline your wishes while complying with Wisconsin law.
  • Choose the medical power of attorney: Table your goals and choose the durable power of attorney for health care.
  • Choose your agent: Choose a trusted person.
  • Define the powers: Clearly outline the scope of authority of your agent.
  • Execute the document: Have 2 adult witnesses sign the document.
  • Distribute the document: Give copies to your agent, loved ones and medical providers.

The medical power of attorney generally takes effect when a qualified health care provider certifies the incapacity of the grantor. Our lawyers can help ensure your decisions are reflected accurately.
