EXPLANATION: You have the right to name someone to make health care decisions for you when you
cannot make or communicate those decisions. This form may be used to create a health care power of
attorney, and meets the requirements of North Carolina law. However, you are not required to use this
form, and North Carolina law allows the use of other forms that meet certain requirements. If you prepare
your own health care power of attorney, you should be very careful to make sure it is consistent with North
Carolina law.
This document gives the person you designate as your health care agent broad powers to make health care
decisions for you when you cannot make the decision yourself or cannot communicate your decision to other
people. You should discuss your wishes concerning life-prolonging measures, mental health treatment, and
other health care decisions with your health care agent. Except to the extent that you express specific
limitations or restrictions in this form, your health care agent may make any health care decision you could
make yourself.
This form does not impose a duty on your health care agent to exercise granted powers, but when a power is
exercised, your health care agent will be obligated to use due care to act in your best interests and in
accordance with this document.
This Health Care Power of Attorney form is intended to be valid in any jurisdiction in which it is presented,
but places outside North Carolina may impose requirements that this form does not meet.
If you want to use this form, you must complete it, sign it, and have your signature witnessed by two
qualified witnesses and proved by a notary public. Follow the instructions about which choices you can
initial very carefully. Do not sign this form until two witnesses and a notary public are present to watch
you sign it. You then should give a copy to your health care agent and to any alternates you name. You
should consider filing it with the Advance Health Care Directive Registry maintained by the North Carolina
