Common Questions About Health Care Power of Attorney
What Louisiana customers ask us most about Health Care Power of Attorney, answered in plain language.
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.

This was an amazing experience for me! Friendly helpful and it was great to hand over all documents & he got me all situated! Handed me a paper and said you don’t need it & tossed it. Normally when I buy a car I keep all the papers & here’s this man simplifying what I didn’t need any longer now that I paid him a visit! Great people!
