Medical Power of Attorney Form - Arkansas

An Arkansas Medical Power of Attorney Form is made to permit another individual (usually a close friend or family member) the right to make important medical decisions on behalf of the principal. The party with these rights is referred to as an agent. This document can be useful in instances when the principal does not have the ability to make medical decisions independently. For this reason, the document is mostly drafted by the elderly - particularly if they are beginning to show being affected by conditions such as Alzheimer's or dementia.

To appropriately legitimize an Arkansas Medical Power of Attorney and ensure that it can come into effect, the signing requirements for the state should be studied carefully. In Arkansas, there are two options available when concerning this. The first allows the presence of a notary public whereas the second requires two witnesses. The principal needs to ensure that only one of these options is fulfilled.
