power of attorney before surgery?


Recommended Posts

I am having surgery tomorrow and think I will have to fill these forms out. What exactly does this entail? Does the person I give it to have to be there?

 

Would love to hear any of your experiences with this.

Powers of Attorney have to be notarized and can be general or specific; you define what powers you are giving another.

Power of attorney is legal document that allows you to name a person/persons to make certain decisions for you. This document becomes effective when you sign it.

 

This legal document must be provided prior the day of surgery and A legal guardian must be in the center AT ALL TIMES for children under 19 years and dependent adults.

 

I hope all goes well with your surgery :)
