A power of attorney for health care in California

by Stan Burman

A power of attorney for health care in California is the topic of this blog post.

A power of attorney for health care in California is governed by the statutes found in sections 4670 through 4743 inclusive, of the Probate Code.  

A properly worded power of attorney for health care in California can also function as an advance health care directive.

A power of attorney for health care in California may be designated as a durable power of attorney for health care which refers to the fact that the powers given to the agent by the principal will continue to exist even if the person who signed the durable health care power of attorney becomes incapacitated and can no longer make their own decisions regarding their health care unless the document provides otherwise.

A power of attorney for health care may also include a statement of desires concerning life-prolonging treatment, services and procedures and can also include a nomination of the agent or another person to be conservator of the person for the principal is appointed.  

A power of attorney for health care in California should be dated and be acknowledged before a notary public. Technically the law also allows two witnesses but the witnesses must meet the requirements of Probate Code sections 4674 and 4675.

As with any power of attorney the decision as to whether or not to have one prepared as well as what to include should be carefully considered beforehand.
