Designation of attorney-in-fact for decisions about mental health treatment.
A declaration may designate a
competent adult to act as attorney-in-fact to make decisions about mental
health treatment. An alternative attorney-in-fact may also be designated to act
as attorney-in-fact if the original designee is unable or unwilling to act at
any time. An attorney-in-fact who has accepted the appointment in writing may
make decisions about mental health treatment on behalf of the principal only
when the principal is incapable. The decisions must be consistent with any
desires the principal has expressed in the declaration. [1993 c.442 §3]
