Medical Power of Attorney Form - Georgia (United States)

In Georgia, a Georgia Medical Power of Attorney Form provides an agent with the necessary rights and powers to make medical choices on behalf of the principal. The principal must create and sign this document when they are in a clear state of mind and are doing so willingly. Such decisions can be made if the principal can no longer talk to healthcare professionals and make unclouded decisions. The consequences of these decisions can be of extreme importance hence why any agents need to be trusted. In most cases, these agents are relatives or a close friend. It is the responsibility of the principal to clearly outline any wishes they have concerning treatment or any other medical procedure. It is then the right of the agent to ensure that these wishes are met when the time comes.

A Georgia Medical Power of Attorney should be signed before two witnesses. These two witnesses should hold a minimum legal age of 18 years old and cannot be the named agent. If an individual is included in the will of the principal, they too cannot act as a witness.
