A person unrelated to the principal by blood, marriage, or adoption if, at the time of the proposed designation, he or she is presently serving as an attorney in fact for ten or more principals.

Withdrawal of Attorney in Fact

When a principal is not incapable, the attorney in fact may withdraw by giving notice to the principal. When a principal is incapable, the attorney in fact may withdraw by giving notice to the health care provider. The withdrawal of an attorney in fact must be made a part of the principal's medical records.

The creation by the principal of written wishes or instructions about health care or limitations upon the attorney in fact's authority shall not revoke a power of attorney for health care unless such wishes, instructions, or limitations expressly provide otherwise.
