Who needs to appoint a Durable Medical Power of Attorney? If you are legally married, your spouse is already designated by law to speak on your behalf if you become incapacitated. (UNLESS, you choose someone else through using a medical power of attorney form.)
How do I fill out a health care proxy? You don't need a lawyer to complete the form. The form becomes valid after you name an agent and sign it in front of two witnesses. Anyone 18 years of age or older may serve as a witness; however, your health care agent cannot be a witness.
A: Marriage does not automatically allow the healthy spouse to make health care decisions for the other, incapacitated spouse, absent written authority granting such rights. California uses a document known as the advance health care directive to create these rights.
The powers to decide on your behalf aren't transferred to your spouse automatically. Your husband or wife can become your health care agent only if you specify so in a medical proxy. Otherwise, they can't make choices in your name.
All competent adults, 18 years of age or older, can appoint a health care agent by signing a form called a Health Care Proxy. You don't need a lawyer or a notary, just two adult witnesses. Your agent cannot sign as a witness. You can use the form printed here, but you don't have to use this form.
