Medical Power of Attorney Form - Maine

A Maine Medical Power of Attorney Form provides an individual with the opportunity to pick a medical representative agent that will be given powers relating to medical treatment and any relevant instructions that may be required post-death. The agent can only make these decisions if a healthcare professional rules that the principal is no longer able to do this independently. Therefore, the selected agent needs to be a trustworthy individual (which is why agents often tend to be family members of close friends) and should be available at short notice. It is no good selecting an agent that likes to travel a lot for example; they may need to be available very quickly.

Local state laws in Maine state that in order to form a legitimate Maine Medical Power of Attorney, two individuals of legal age should be present as witnesses. However, these witnesses cannot be the named agent.
