Medical Power of Attorney Form - Oregon

An Oregon Medical Power of Attorney Form is needed in cases when a principal wants to delegate themselves an agent, giving them legal permission to make vital medical decisions on their behalf. This can only be done in the proven event that the principal cannot do this independently, as confirmed by a doctor. For this reason, the chosen agent needs to be reliable (usually a relative or close friend) and should be easily contacted if an emergency situation occurs. It is the responsibility of the principal to detail and clearly lay out their expectations so that the agent can follow them appropriately.

However, another vital factor worth thinking about when creating an Oregon Medical Power of Attorney is the signing requirements. As in most states, there is a legal requirement for the form to be signed before a notary public or in front of two witnesses.
