Arkansas Healthcare Power of Attorney

If you ever become incapacitated, an Arkansas Healthcare Power of Attorney gives someone you trust the authority to make medical decisions on your behalf. By selecting a specific person to make decisions for you, you can help protect loved ones from uncertainty and confusion, saving them from having to work it out on their own. With an Arkansas Healthcare Power of Attorney you can nominate alternates, too, so if your first choice of an agent is unavailable for some reason, someone else can step in.

Use the Arkansas Healthcare Power of Attorney document if:

• Your health is declining and you want to assign someone to make healthcare decisions if, and when, you can't.
• You're healthy but you want to have a say in who takes care of your medical decisions, if you're unable to.
