What is an Alabama Medical Power of Attorney?
An Alabama Medical Power of Attorney is a legal document that gives a selected individual or entity permission to make health-related decisions on your behalf, such as refusing or requesting specific medical treatments or procedures, when you cannot do so.
The individual giving control is known as the "principal," and the individuals or organizations receiving powers are known as the "agents." Designed for residents of Alabama, our Power of Attorney for health care is made for use in Jefferson County, Mobile County, Madison County, and in any other part of the state. All Alabama Healthcare PoA forms from Rocket Lawyer can be personalized to address your specific circumstances. Creating this essential document provides confirmation to medical facilities and other parties that your chosen agent(s) can legally act in your interest when you are not able.
