An Idaho medical power of attorney is a type of advance directive that gives a trusted individual the right to make medical decisions if you become incapacitated. The person you choose (called your agent) can only make medical decisions for you if you can’t communicate your wishes yourself.
Laws
Statute: Title 39, Chapter 45 of the Idaho Statutes.
Signing Requirements: The law only requires that you sign, but we recommend having it notarized or signed in front of one or two witnesses (§39-4510).
Revocation: It remains valid until your death unless you revoke it or a court orders it to be revoked (§39-4511A).
