Now is a good time to review your estate and healthcare forms. I recommend everyone have a power of attorney for healthcare .

Tennessee Medical Durable Power of Attorney Form allows for an attorney-in-fact to act as a health care agent representing a patient/principal in the event he or she cannot do so effectively and independently. In addition, the principal may elect a secondary agent in case the primary attorney-in-fact is unavailable to act on the patient’s behalf. This form is considered durable which means that the arrangement may only be canceled upon revocation, death, or by declaring a new health care agent using a form dated after the effective date of this one.

Definition – § 34-6-201(1)

Laws – Title 34, Chapter 6, Part 2 (Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care)
