Medical Power of Attorney Form - Mississippi

A Mississippi Medical Power of Attorney Form allows an individual to find and document themselves a representative that will be able to represent their interests and wishes in medical settings, particularly questions concerning treatment. It is however important to know that these rights only come into effect once the principal is incapacitated or deemed medically unfit by a doctor.

As the decisions made by the agent have a serious effect on the life of the principal, the selected agent must be trustworthy and should be reachable in the event that they are needed urgently.

Be aware that before you sign your drafted Mississippi Medical Power of Attorney, you ought to find out about the local legislation surrounding signing requirements. In Mississippi, this must be either two witnesses (of full legal age) or a notary public. Both of these are not required, only one or the other. Failing to do so will eradicate the validity of the document.
