Health care power of attorney in California



A health care power of attorney in California is the topic of this blog post.  Health care powers of attorney are governed by Sections 4670 through 4743 inclusive, of the California Probate Code.

A health care power of attorney may be designated as a durable power of attorney for health care in reference to the fact that the powers given to the agent by the principal will continue to exist even if the person who signed the durable health care power of attorney becomes incapacitated and can no longer make their own decisions regarding their health care unless the document provides otherwise.

A health care power of attorney may include a statement of desires concerning life-prolonging treatment, services and procedures and can also include a nomination of the agent or another person to be conservator of the person for the principal is appointed.

Health care powers of attorney in California must be dated and be acknowledged before a notary public.
