A Health Care Power of Attorney lets you appoint a trusted person to make medical decisions if you’re unable to decide or communicate. We draft and notarize the document properly so it’s recognized when it matters most.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need witnesses or a notary for a Health Care Power of Attorney in Louisiana?
Yes. In Louisiana, you must sign your Health Care Power of Attorney in front of two competent witnesses (who are not related to you and do not stand to inherit from you). Notarization is optional but strongly recommended to reduce potential challenges.
Can I change or revoke my Health Care Power of Attorney later?
Yes — as long as you remain mentally competent, you may revoke or replace your document. When you do so, provide notice to your agent, healthcare providers, and anyone holding a copy.
What decisions can my agent make under a Health Care Power of Attorney?
Your agent can generally make medical treatment decisions, authorize hospital admission or discharge, and access medical records. However, some limitations apply—especially with behavioral health decisions unless you are deemed incapacitated by law.
What happens if I don’t have a Health Care Power of Attorney?
If you lack a Health Care Power of Attorney and become unable to make decisions, Louisiana’s default rules assign decision making to close family members or a guardian designated by a court.
Is my Louisiana Health Care Power of Attorney valid in another state?
Often yes. Under the U.S. Constitution’s Full Faith & Credit Clause, most states will honor a document valid in Louisiana. But some states may have additional requirements or formalities, so updating it to comply with your new state is wise.
