Medical Power of Attorney Form - Kentucky

A Kentucky Medical Power of Attorney Form is a document that clearly outlines any wishes that an individual may have in regards to their treatment. The form will also designate a legal representative that is within right to make such decisions on behalf of the individual. This information will help medical staff know how best to treat a patient. Therefore, the selected agent must be someone that is trustworthy and should always be available at short notice.

It is important to know that the agent can only act when the principal is no longer able to communicate their thoughts or they are not in a fit state of mind. This must be determined by a doctor.
