Medical/Health Care
Power of Attorney

A Healthcare Power of Attorney (HCPA), also known as a Medical Power of Attorney or Health Care Proxy, is a legal document that grants an individual, known as the "agent" or "healthcare proxy," the authority to make healthcare decisions on behalf of another person, referred to as the "principal." This document is a crucial part of advance care planning, allowing individuals to appoint someone they trust to make medical decisions for them if they become unable to do so.
