Health Care Power of Attorney

Posted on 02/1/12 3:30 PM

An important change in laws governing the appointment of a health care power of attorney or "health agent" was effective January 1, 2012. For purposes of making anatomical gifts, authorization of any autopsy, and disposition of remains, a health care power of attorney is now effective after death, even if the principal did not become incompetent before death. Funeral homes and crematories no longer have to confirm a doctor’s written findings of the principal’s incompetence to follow directions of a health agent for disposition decisions after the principal’s death. For preneed purposes, however, the principal’s incompetence still needs confirmation before a funeral home or crematory can follow a health agent’s directives.

Very useful and informative”….”Much needed program for me!  Every funeral director needs to attend”….”Practical-everyday information presented in a fresh energetic format”….”As a new funeral director, this skill building session was not only educational, but beneficial to future arrangements”….”Every eye open, even after being in the business for so long.  There are still plenty of things to learn”…
