Medical Power of Attorney Form - Connecticut

A Connecticut Medical Power of Attorney Form will give an agent the right to make decisions on treatment plans on behalf of the principal. This document will only come into force if the principal is no longer in an appropriate state of mind to carry out such decisions. Because of the importance and consequences of these decisions, the principal needs to select a trusted individual to act as their agent which in most cases would be a close family member or friend. This person should be easy to reach in case a medical emergency occurs and they may be required to make a decision. To help ensure that an agent makes the right decision, it is important for the principal to form an open dialogue with the agent clearly outlining their preferences.

After filling in a Connecticut Medical Power of Attorney, the signing section should be done with great care. Two witnesses must be present to view the principal and agent signing the document and the witnesses must also sign themselves.
