Creating a Health Care Power of Attorney Legal Workshop: Drafting Your Health Care Instructions

Meet with a lawyer from the Southern Nevada Senior Law Program one-on-one to help you draft a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care Decisions for free. This will save you hundreds in legal fees.
A health care Durable Power of Attorney (also referred to as a medical power of attorney or health care proxy) is a legal document that designates a trusted person to act as your agent to make medical decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated and unable to communicate directives, are unconscious, or are deemed mentally incompetent. Family members, even a spouse, have no legal right to order healthcare decisions unless appointed by the individual who is being cared for or by being appointed their guardian by a court.
In this workshop, you'll meet one-on-one with an attorney from the Southern Nevada Senior Law Program to help you draft a Durable Health Care Power Of Attorney for free. Registration is suggested.
