What is required for a medical power of attorney?

To create a valid medical POA in Texas, you must be at least 18 years old, of sound mind, and complete a written document that names your chosen agent. You must sign the document in the presence of a notary public or two adult witnesses who are not your agent nor related to you. This document empowers you to appoint someone to make healthcare decisions on your behalf in case you ever become incapacitated, so it’s important to choose someone that you trust wholeheartedly. Our experienced estate planning attorney can walk you through this process and help you make informed decisions.
