What Is a Medical Power of Attorney?

A Medical Power of Attorney, also known as a Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare or Healthcare Proxy, is a legal document that allows you to appoint a trusted person—called your health care agent—to make medical decisions on your behalf if you become unable to communicate your wishes.
