A Hawaii medical power of attorney form grants you the power to determine who will make health care decisions on your behalf if you can no longer do so due to illness or injury. The person you choose is called an agent and only gets to make medical choices for you if you become incapacitated.
Laws
- Statute: Title 19, Health Section 327E, Uniform Health-Care Decisions Act.
- Signing Requirements: Sign and date the form to ensure it has legal validity. Your signature and those of two witnesses over the age of 18 are required in front of a notary public (§327E-3).
- Revocation: You can inform your physician of your choice to change or revoke your medical power of attorney and take away the rights of your agent to make decisions for you (§327E-4).
