DURABLE FAMILY POWER OF ATTORNEY OF @001
I, @001, herewith appoint:
NAME: @002
ADDRESS: @003
@004
who has the following relationship to me:
@005
to act as my attorney in fact with the following powers, and
should @002, be unable to perform this duty I appoint @006, who
has the following relationship to me: @007, as substitute
attorney in fact.
1. To make decisions in the event of my incapacity as to my
health care. In specific, it is my long standing desire that
should I ever have a terminal condition that I be allowed to die
naturally, and without the administration of medical treatment
which will simply prolong the dying process. To this end, my
attorney shall have the power to authorize any medical care
facility in which I may be a patient and to authorize any doctor
who may be treating me to withdraw or withhold any and all
medical procedures and medications which my attorney in fact
deems necessary to withhold or omit in order to effectuate my
intention should I ever have a terminal condition. Although not
stated as limitations my attorney may agree to the placing of an
order on my medical records which provides that should I have
cardiopulmonary arrest that no efforts be made to resuscitate me,
may agree to withdraw all medical or surgical care or
intervention other than care which will solely provide me with
comfort and freedom from pain and may also, to the extent allowed
by applicable law in the jurisdiction in which I may be during my
terminal illness, also consent to the cessation of feeding and
hydration.
2. I further authorize my attorney in fact to release any and all
doctors and medical facilities, together with their agents and
employees from any and all civil liability which might result
from their withholding or withdrawing medical treatment at the
request of my attorney in fact in implementing my wishes.
3. It is my desire that this power of attorney shall be construed
by all who may have occasion to review or to rely upon the same
to grant the broadest power to my attorney in fact that is
lawful.
4. This power of attorney is executed in conformity with the
Uniform Durable Power of Attorney Act. This power of attorney
shall continue in effect despite my incapacity, mental or
physical incompetence or inability to act.
Executed at: @008
