Medical Power of Attorney Form - Iowa

When drafting an Iowa Medical Power of Attorney Form , it is important to select an appropriate agent. After all, it is this person that will legally be able to make life-changing medical decisions on behalf of another (the principal). This occurs in the event that the principal can no longer communicate to healthcare professionals and as a result, will need another trusted person to make the best decisions for the principal. These decisions must take into account the practices and beliefs that the principal has followed which need to be relayed to the agent just before or just after the Iowa Medical Power of Attorney is created and signed.

Like most states, Iowa is strict when it comes to signing requirements and legally requires either two witnesses or a notary public to be present during the process of both parties signing the document. The notary public/witnesses must also sign the document.
