Just to clarify, this needs to be a Advance Directive for Health Care Decisions. Not just a Power of Attorney... POA is specifically for finances. The Advance Directive for Health Care Decisions is for Health Care specifically; its a type of Power of Attorney. Then again the Advance Directive is only enacted when a Medical Provider deems the individual unable to make sound decisions and more specifically when addressing a specific issue.

@gator72 Fortunately all of the documents are in place. We have not yet used the POA, but are fully aware of all the information in it.
