Powered Medical Do I need a medical power of attorney for my spouse?
I'm about to have a baby, and when I was pre-registering at the hospital they asked if I had a living will or medical power of attorney. Does my husband need a power of attorney to direct my medical care, or will he automatically have the authority to do so as my spouse? I'm just wondering if I need to rush and get him the POA soon, before I go into labor.
He's in the military so I can go to JAG and get it done for free. I have a general POA for him (so I can handle the day-to-day stuff when is deployed), but we never thought to get him one.
Yes the spouse has primary authority regardless of having a POA or not. But as others have said the waters can be muddled a bit when family gets involved. Sure the hospital will bow to what your husband wishes but say your Mom, Dad, sibling get involved. The hospital has to explain all of this to them, other people are talking to the doctor, the doctor is talking to your spouse, etc.. Meanwhile the doctors time is best spent talking and explaining the situation to one person and one person only. Time and information are of the essence.
So get it as it is something one should have anyway. If you use a lawyer ask how much it is to do a general POA as well (should something happen it is good for sorting out the house, cars, bank accounts, taxes, benefits, insurance, custody if the grandparents get iffy and all sorts of things).
And it is something that all couples should have. A medical and a general power of attorney.
