Medical Power of Attorney Form - Alabama

By using an Alabama Medical Power of Attorney Form , a person may choose a representative to legally represent them in a medical setting. This individual will gain specific rights allowing them to make choices concerning crucial medical treatment on behalf of another individual (referred to as the principal). In the majority of cases, an Alabama Medical Power of Attorney is typically formed and signed for older people or for those that have serious health problems. Once the document is signed, it is important to keep it in a place where it can easily be accessed in case there is an urgent medical matter.

In Alabama, there are clear regulations concerning the signing requirements that need to be abided by in order for the document to be considered legitimate. It is compulsory to have two witnesses that both need to be a minimum of 19 years of age. The witness cannot be the agent or anyone related to the principal. The same applies for individuals that will receive a fraction from the will of the principal or those that are covering the medical costs of the principal.
