A Health Care Power of Attorney appoints a trusted agent to make medical decisions on your behalf when you cannot make them yourself. It works in tandem with your Living Will: the Living Will speaks to specific end-of-life decisions, and the Health Care Power of Attorney covers the much larger universe of medical choices that can come up in any hospital stay.

Without this document, medical providers default to a statutory hierarchy of decision-makers, which may not match the person you would actually want speaking for you. For unmarried partners, blended families, and adult children with complicated relationships, that default can produce difficult results.

We draft a Health Care Power of Attorney that names primary and alternate agents, includes HIPAA authorization so your agent can access medical information, and reflects any specific instructions you want documented. Nicole walks through it with you so the agent you choose is set up to succeed.

We pair this document with a HIPAA Waiver and the Living Will so your medical wishes are documented in a coordinated, hospital-ready package.

Who this is for

• Every adult resident of Arizona
• Unmarried partners and blended families
• Parents of adult children, where appropriate
• Anyone with strong preferences about who should speak for them medically

What you gain

• Your chosen agent makes medical decisions in your voice
• HIPAA authorization included for full information access
• Coordinated with your Living Will
• Hospital-ready, statutorily compliant Arizona document
