Can I make a power of attorney?

You must be 16 years of age or older and mentally capable of making a Power of Attorney for Personal Care. This means that you understand:

whether your attorney is truly concerned about how you live and are taken care of, and
that you may need this person to make decisions for you.

You must make the power of attorney without anyone forcing you or telling you that you must make one to get medical care.

For it to be legal, you must sign it while you’re capable of making a Power of Attorney for Personal Care.
