This document is used for managing your finances, not your medical decisions or end-of-life wishes. Usually, you are going to appoint someone else to make your medical decisions while you are incapacitated. In many cases, the person that can best manage your finances may not be the person you want making medical choices for you. You can appoint someone to make medical decisions for you using:
Healthcare Power of Attorney: Use this form to appoint someone to make medical choices for you when you're ill or in treatment.
Mental Health Power of Attorney: This type of POA is to assign someone to make your medical and mental health choices for you should you not have the mental capacity to do so.
Advance Directive: This document appoints someone to carry out your end-of-life wishes. A Living Will can also fulfill this need for you.
