The Health Care Proxy Law lets you appoint a competent adult to make decisions about your medical treatment in the event you lose the ability to decide for yourself – including decisions to remove or provide life-sustaining treatment. You can appoint a family member, a close friend, or anyone you choose.

Durable power of attorney for health care: A durable power of attorney for health care is a legal document that names your health care proxy, a person who can make health care decisions for you if you are unable to communicate these yourself.

The person you appoint as your proxy cannot serve as a witness. You do not need to notarize your Massachusetts healthcare proxy.

In the absence of a health care proxy, family members or the medical institution will have to go to court to have someone appointed as guardian and in extreme cases, get specific court authority for specific medical procedures. This process can be cumbersome, expensive, and time-consuming.

Instructions: Every competent adult, 18 years old and older, has the right to appoint a Health Care Agent in a Health Care Proxy. To create your Health Care Proxy, print this two page form and place the instructions page and the blank document in front of you.

You appoint an Agent in a legal document called a Health Care Proxy. In Massachusetts, a spouse, family or friend does not automatically have the legal authority to make health decisions on your behalf unless appointed in a Health Care Proxy.

What does the Health Care Proxy Law allow? The Health Care Proxy is a simple legal document that allows you to name someone you know and trust to make health care decisions for you if, for any reason and at any time, you become unable to make or communicate those decisions.

You do not need to have the form notarized. The standard Health Care Proxy form approved under New York law has sections that must be completed for your proxy to be valid. The form also has “optional” sections that you may or may not choose to complete.
