Legal Guardianship
Adult legal guardianship is a legal process that grants an individual or entity the authority and responsibility to make decisions on behalf of an adult who is unable to make those decisions independently. It is most commonly used when an adult lacks the capacity to manage their personal, financial, or healthcare affairs.
Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare
A DPOAH is a legal document that allows an individual to designate someone they trust to make medical decisions on their behalf. This document only becomes effective when the individual is unable to make their own healthcare decisions, typically due to incapacity, such as being unconscious or mentally incompetent.
Key points about a Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare include:
Designation of Agent
Scope of Authority

Specific Instructions
Revocability
