Medical Power of Attorney Form - Pennsylvania

In Pennsylvania, a Pennsylvania Medical Power of Attorney Form is a legal document confirming that an agent can represent another individual (the principal) in a medical facility, making vital decisions regarding treatment plans on their behalf. This would only occur if the principal would be classed as no longer in a fit state of mind to make such decisions appropriately by a doctor. To make sure that the decisions made by the agent take into account the values and of the principal, the principal should have an open talk with the agent to get explain their points of view. Because the role of the agent is so important, principals will pick close people to be their agent such as a family member of friend.
