The Healthcare Proxy Form is recognized by all 50 states. Some states use different names such as Healthcare Agent, Healthcare Representative, and Healthcare Power of Attorney. While these forms were obtained from a major hospital, it is your responsibility to ensure that the free healthcare proxy will be accepted by the hospital or healthcare providers with which you entrust your medical care. Many states will not accept a healthcare proxy if it was signed in another state.

A healthcare proxy is a legal document that permits you to designate another person or persons as your health care representative to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you are no longer physically or mentally able to do so. You allow your healthcare agent the legal authority to make medical decisions for you if you are unable to speak for yourself.

Unless otherwise stated in the proxy form, the healthcare proxy becomes effective only when you are unable to make decisions for yourself, as determined by a physician. Until that time, you can make your own healthcare decisions. The healthcare proxy can be terminated orally, and you have the right to sign a new one if you are physically and mentally able to do so at the time of the signing.
