DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY
A durable power of attorney is an instrument authorizing another person(s) to act as an agent in specified matters, such as business affairs, and which becomes, or remains, effective even if the principal becomes disabled.
PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
1. I authorize the following person (or persons) to be my agent(s) and hold the durable power of attorney:
(If two agents are named, and one dies or becomes incapacitated, the other can act, eliminating the need for successor agents.)
(A) ________________________, of ________________________, (_____)_________________.
Optional:
(B) ________________________, of ________________________, (_____)_________________.
2. Such agents may act:
(Check one) A) singly__, or jointly__.
(Authorizing the agents to act singly, facilitates transactions if one is unavailable.
On the other hand, requiring unanimity may operate as a safeguard against inappropriate
action by a single agent.)
3. Please select on of the following:
A) _____ This power of attorney shall become effective upon my disability or incapacity. I shall be deemed disabled or incapacitated upon my agent's election to accept a physician's examination and certification that I am incapacitated mentally or physically and incapable of attending to my business affairs.
B) _____ This power of attorney shall be unconditional and effective immediately, however it shall be held in escrow by my designated representative and released only under the following circumstances:
LIVING WILL
A living will is a directive as to the withholding of life prolonging medical procedures in the event of a terminal medical condition and imminent death.
PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
1. If my physician determines that I am in one of the following conditions for which life-prolonging procedures would serve only to artificially prolong the dying process, I direct that such procedures be withdrawn, and that I be permitted to die naturally with only medication or procedures necessary to provide comfort, care, or alleviate pain:
(A terminal condition is a condition caused by injury, disease or illness from which, to a reasonable degree of medical probability, a patient cannot recover, and either the patient's death is imminent, or the patient is in a persistent vegetative state. A persistent vegetative state is a condition caused by injury, disease or illness in which the patient has suffered a loss of consciousness with no behavioral evidence of self awareness or awareness of surroundings in a learned manner other than reflex activity of nerves and muscles for low level conditioned response, and from which to a reasonable degree of medical probability there can be no recovery.)
2. Optional: I specifically direct that the following procedures or treatments be provided to me. (Here you may list specific life-prolonging procedures that you do not wish withdrawn, for example, nutrition and hydration by mean of nasogastric tube or tube into the stomach, intestines or veins.)
HEALTH CARE POWER OF ATTORNEY
A health care power of attorney is a designation of one or more persons to make decisions on behalf of an individual in the event the individual is incapable of doing so.
PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION:
