Frequently Asked Questions

Q.

What does advance healthcare planning include?

A.

Advanced healthcare planning involves outlining your medical wishes in case you cannot make decisions for yourself. This includes creating documents like living wills, healthcare directives, and medical powers of attorney. This means treatment preferences, life-sustaining measures, and care providers are known and followed.

Q.

Does a medical power of attorney need to be notarized in Arizona?

A.

Yes, in Arizona, a medical power of attorney must be either notarized or signed by an adult witness unrelated to you. This step makes the document legally valid. It allows your chosen agent to make medical decisions on your behalf when necessary.

Q.

Who makes medical decisions if there is no power of attorney?

A.

Arizona law determines who can make medical decisions if no power of attorney exists. Typically, this responsibility falls to close family members in a specific order, such as spouses, adult children, or parents. A court may appoint a guardian to make decisions if no family members are available.

Q.

How is incapacity determined in Arizona?

A.

In Arizona, incapacity is determined by a medical professional. A physician or psychologist must evaluate whether you can understand and communicate decisions about your healthcare.

If you are deemed incapacitated, your healthcare agent or another authorized person will manage your medical care.

Q.

How much does it cost to hire an Arizona healthcare planning attorney?

A.

The cost of hiring a healthcare planning attorney in Arizona varies depending on the complexity of your plan. Basic services, such as drafting a living will or healthcare power of attorney, can range from $300 to $1,000.

More comprehensive estate planning packages may cost more, but they provide added peace of mind by covering all your healthcare and legal needs.
