Arizona Healthcare Power of Attorney

Arizona Health Care Power of Attorney

Give someone you trust the legal authority to speak for you when you cannot speak for yourself. This Arizona-specific Health Care Power of Attorney allows you to appoint a trusted adult to make medical decisions if you become unable to make or communicate those decisions.

Unlike a basic health care authorization, this comprehensive document also gives you space to record important personal choices concerning:

• Medical treatment and health care providers

• Life-sustaining treatment

• Artificial nutrition and hydration

• Pain relief and comfort care

• Access to medical records and protected health information

• Autopsy preferences

• Organ and tissue donation

• Funeral, burial, cremation, and disposition arrangements

• Additional instructions or limitations

You may also name a Successor Agent in case your first choice is unwilling or unable to serve. The document includes Arizona-specific execution language and provides the option of signing before a qualified witness or a notary, as permitted by Arizona law.

This downloadable DIY document offers an organized and affordable way to put your wishes in writing, reduce uncertainty for loved ones, and help your chosen Agent understand what matters most to you.

Important: This is a self-help legal document and does not constitute legal advice or create an attorney-client relationship. Carefully review every selection and follow the included signing requirements. Consult a licensed Arizona attorney if you have questions, complex medical wishes, family conflict, or unusual circumstances.
