An Indiana Medical Power of Attorney Form gives another person (the agent) the legal right to represent and make medical decisions on behalf of another person (the principal). The principal must trust that the agent will take into account the agreement formed between both parties in regards to this and therefore, most of the time the selected agent is a relative or extremely close friend. The agent gains these rights only if the principal becomes incapacitated and cannot independently make the choices.
The details of the Indiana Medical Power of Attorney should be stored away safely in an accessible place as this document can be requested at any given moment in the event of an emergency. However, before storing the document away ensure that all signing requirements have been complied with. In Indiana, one witness is legally required to witness and sign the document as confirmation. If this is not done, the document will be considered invalid.
