What Is a Medical Power of Attorney?

A Medical Power of Attorney (MPOA) is a legal document that allows you to name someone you trust to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you're unable to make them yourself. This person—called your agent—can communicate with doctors, review treatment options, and ensure your medical care aligns with your wishes.



In Texas, having a Medical POA in place can prevent delays, reduce confusion, and protect your autonomy during a medical crisis or long-term illness.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does a Medical POA include end-of-life care decisions?

    Not directly. It gives your agent decision-making power, but your specific end-of-life care choices should be outlined in a Directive to Physician.

  • Do I need one if I’m married?

    Yes. Even spouses may face legal limitations without proper documentation. A Medical POA avoids confusion and ensures your exact wishes are honored.


  • Is this only for older adults?

    No. A Medical POA is important for adults of any age. Illness or injury can happen unexpectedly, and planning ahead protects your voice and your loved ones.
