West Virginia Medical Power of Attorney Form
In West Virginia, a medical power of attorney enables an individual, known as the principal, to designate a health care representative responsible for making medical choices for them. The principal has the option to impose specific conditions or authority on the agent, including the ability to discontinue life-sustaining measures, like breathing or feeding machines, in cases of terminal illness. This document is activated only when the principal is unable to make decisions on their own due to incapacitation.
Signing Requirements
Two adult witnesses and a notary acknowledgment.
