Medical Power of Attorney Form - California

In California, any individuals signing a California Medical Power of Attorney Form will ensure that the principal legally documents the permittance of specific medically related functions to their selected agent. This is needed if the principal suspects that they will commence some form of dangerous treatment or if they start to develop signs of conditions such as Alzheimer's. For this reason, the form is mostly requested by elder people who want a close friend or relative to make decisions for them with the understanding that in the future, they may not have the opportunity to do this themselves.

To create a valid California Medical Power of Attorney that will hold legal weight, it is important to sign the document correctly. The requirements in California clearly state that the document must be signed before (and by) a notary public or by two witnesses. There is no requirement to meet both of these conditions - one should suffice.
