Choosing a Medical Power of Attorney

We all hope to live a healthy life and be fully aware of the decisions we take. There is a very real possibility at some point in your life you will not be able to make critical decisions due to an accident or illness and have someone to make those decisions for you.
If not have written instructions nomenclature medical decision for themselves, family members , medical personnel and the courts could approve actions that are not in their wishes.
The following tips are to choose your doctor the attorney (PA):
1. Use your brain, not your heart in selecting PA & 39; s. You need someone who can make decisions based on what you want, not what we want. His PA & 39; s may face scrutiny from family for the decisions that make.
2. Priorizar its PA & 39; S. Having co-Powers of Attorney can lead to disagreements and delays in action. The method is preferable to a first list, then second and finally a third PoA.
3. Although the location of its PA & 39; s is not critical, is beneficial, especially during a prolonged illness, to have PA & 39; s that are local.
4. Talk to your potential PA & 39; s basic about their desires medically (which medical procedures, medications used, etc.). Most of the Power of Attorney documents are accompanied by a Living Will, which states its intentions regarding the use of life support equipment when two physicians said that they have no chance of surviving without assistance machine and you are brain dead. This document eliminates the most difficult decision of his PA & 39; s.
While there are other activities sounds more pleasant than create this type of plan, his family will be spared time and stress with the legal structure in place to make it easier to take care of a process.
