Medical Power of Attorney Form - Texas

A Texas Medical Power of Attorney Form is created when a principal wants to have a second option concerning their treatment and have another individual that would be able to make specific decisions in regards to their treatment. It is important to note that the individual would only be able to use these powers if the principal is no longer able to talk and this would need official confirmation from a doctor. The agent should act in the best interests of the principal and make decisions as the principal would have wanted. This is why the agent must be a trustworthy person and should be available at any time because no one is certain of just when they can be contacted. The document should be carefully stored away but needs to be accessed easily and quickly.

A Texas Medical Power of Attorney should be signed by two appropriate witnesses or by a notary public. There is specific information concerning those who may and may not pose as witnesses - this information is described in state law.
