Medical Power of Attorney Form - Massachusetts

A Massachusetts Medical Power of Attorney Form allows a principal to allocate themselves an agent. The role of the agent concerns treatment and general health care plans as well as plans after the death of the principal. The agent must work to fulfill the wishes and respect the desires of the principal. To make sure the agent does this, the principal should firstly speak to the agent and get these ideas across. The agent themselves must be carefully chosen by the principal which is why agents are usually relatives or close friends. It is however important to take note of the fact that the agent can only legally execute their powers once the principal can no longer communicate themselves.

An equally important consideration when forming a Massachusetts Medical Power of Attorney are the signing requirements. In Massachusetts, the legislation states that two witnesses must be present when the form is being signed after which the witnesses must also sign the document.
