Healthcare Surrogate
A Healthcare Surrogate, also known as a healthcare proxy or medical power of attorney, is a legal document that allows you to designate someone you trust to make medical decisions on your behalf if you’re unable to do so. This person, called your surrogate, steps in during times of serious illness, injury, or incapacity to ensure your healthcare wishes are honored. At Maimone Legal, we help you choose and legally authorize the right surrogate so your voice is heard—even when you can’t speak for yourself.
Without a healthcare surrogate in place, medical decisions could fall into the hands of individuals who don’t fully understand your values or preferences, or worse, require court involvement to appoint a guardian. A properly executed surrogate designation ensures that someone who knows your beliefs and priorities can communicate with doctors and advocate for your care. Maimone Legal ensures your healthcare directive is legally binding, easy to understand, and part of a complete estate plan that protects every aspect of your well-being.
