HEALTHCARE POWER OF ATTORNEY IN ARIZONA

Navigating the complexities of medical decisions can be overwhelming, especially during unexpected situations. A Healthcare Power of Attorney (HCPOA) ensures your health and well-being are entrusted to someone you trust, giving you and your loved ones peace of mind. At Obsidian Ridge Law, we guide you through this essential step of estate planning with clarity and compassion, ensuring your wishes are honored even if you cannot speak for yourself.

WHAT IS A HEALTHCARE POWER OF ATTORNEY?

A Healthcare Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows you to appoint a trusted family member or friend—called your “agent”—to make medical decisions on your behalf if you are too ill or incapacitated to do so. This can include choices about treatments, surgeries, end-of-life care, organ donation, funeral or burial preferences, and other medical procedures.
