Medical Power of Attorney Form - Illinois

In Illinois, an Illinois Medical Power of Attorney Form provides legal confirmation that another person (an agent) can represent another individual (the principal) in a clinical setting, making important decisions concerning treatment plans. This would only happen in the event that the principal is no longer in a fit state of mind to make such decisions appropriately. To ensure that the decisions made take into account the principles, beliefs and wishes of the principal, the principal ought to have an open discussion with the agent to get across their ideas. Due to the importance of the role, principals will often pick close people to be their agent.
