Medical Power of Attorney Form - Tennessee

A Tennessee Medical Power of Attorney Form is a legal document outlining any information that an individual may have regarded as highly important concerning treatment. The document will also state the name of a legal representative that would have the right to make medical decisions on behalf of the principal. This information will be useful for healthcare professionals, providing them more information on treating a patient. For this reason, the selected agent must be trustworthy and should be available at short notice.

It is important to know that the agent can only exert their powers if the principal can no longer communicate their thoughts or they are not in a fit state of mind. This must be determined by a doctor.

A Tennessee Medical Power of Attorney should carefully take into account the signing requirements that are outlined by state law. These requirements state that a notary public or two witnesses must be present and they will also be required to add their signature.
