Medical Power of Attorney Form - Washington

A Washington Medical Power of Attorney Form is a legal form that provides a person with the legal right to pick and use an agent that would be responsible for medical decisions. Such medical decisions often involve treating the principal and can only be done so if the principal is confirmed to be medically unfit by a healthcare professional. The principal should be confident in the agent they have chosen and their ability to do things just as the principal had discussed. This can only occur when a medical professional provides confirmation that the individual is no longer in an appropriate state to make decisions concerning their health. If this occurs, the agent will be contacted as soon as possible and from this point onwards they can use their powers.

A Washington Medical Power of Attorney is detailed by local state legislation. This legislation also details information concerning the signing requirements which in Washington require that two witnesses or a notary public must witness the signing process after which they would also be required to sign the documents.
