Indiana Health Care Power of Attorney - $65

The Indiana Health Care Power of Attorney lets you name someone to make decisions about your medical care if you can no longer speak for yourself. This Indiana Health Care Power of Attorney is especially useful because it allows you to appoint someone to speak for you any time you are unable to make your own medical decisions, not just during potentially life ending moments.

Your health care attorney-in-fact can be a family member or a close friend whom you trust to make serious decisions. The person you name as your health care attorney-in-fact should clearly understand your wishes and be willing to accept the responsibility of making medical decisions for you. Your health care attorney-in-fact must be an adult, eighteen years of age or older.  In order for this document to be legally binding, the declarant must be a competent person who is at least 18 years of age.

An Indiana health care attorney-in-fact has the specific power to:

• employ or contract with servants, companions or health care providers for the principal;
• admit or release the principal from any hospital or health care facility;
• have access to any records, including medical records, concerning any condition;
• make anatomical gifts on behalf of principal;
• request an autopsy; and
• make plans for the disposition of the principal’s body.

This form also allows you to appoint your health care attorney-in-fact as your "health care representative" - which under Indiana law means that person may make decisions concerning the withdrawal or withholding of health care; without being appointed as your health care representative, your attorney-in-fact will not have this power.

Once you have completed the online questionnaire, you will receive a word document containing your Indiana Health Care Power of Attorney. You will have the option of submitting your document for review by an attorney a single time. You will also receive a memo explaining exactly what you should do with your Indiana health care power of attorney to make sure it is executed properly.
