Health Care Directive

A health care directive allows you to select a “health care agent” to make health care decisions on your behalf if you are unable to decide or speak for yourself. Your health care agent has a legal duty to act in your best interest based on your health care instructions. Your spouse does not automatically have the general power to act on your behalf if you become incapacitated or incompetent without a health care directive. Having a health care directive avoids having a court appoint an agent to make health care decisions for you.
