Thank you for taking time to confirm this. Am very glad, and much appreciate, you shared this information for I had no idea about “Medical Power of Attorney” only a ‘Living Will’, and even that I wasn’t comfortable with. There is certainly a difference!
I have two sons but I know the other son would not do well handling medical determinations....nor would he want to. So appointing his brother is something he’d have no problem with.
When whoever made up “Living Will” they gave it that same to sound “good”. That was a travesty to do that since it is turning your body over to the hospital when you can’t make a decision. If they gave it the proper name, it would be “Death Will” and people would read it to find out what will happen to them. I mean every single time, when I was asked if he had a “Living Will”, I said to that person, “That is Death Will and I have a Medical Power of Attorney.” Their attitude changed immediately because they knew I was knowledgeable about “Death Wills”.
