Virginia Healthcare Power of Attorney

If you have identified someone who you're confident would make the right medical decisions on your behalf—if you were ever unable to yourself—you can use a Power of Attorney to make it official. Just in case you're ever incapacitated, the person you choose is able to determine your future healthcare. Doing this can help keep things on track, and our Virginia Power of Attorney document helps protect you and your family.

Use the Virginia Healthcare Power of Attorney document if:

• You have medical issues such as a pending surgery, declining health, or a terminal illness diagnosis.
• You're very healthy but want to be ready for anything.

You can take care of your future healthcare, now, by drafting a Virginia Power of Attorney document. If you know exactly who you want making medical decisions for you, if the situation arise, it's important to get it in writing. Otherwise, it can potentially cause a lot of stress on your loved ones during a hard time. This document only comes into effect if you're incapacitated, as declared by a doctor. It's critical that you select somebody who you trust completely, lives nearby, and understands this kind of responsibility. You're asking a lot of them, so make sure they're truly up for the task. Having a Power of Attorney assigned is the only way to guarantee your medical care will be handled how you'd like.
