Very much appreciated the attention to detail and the kindness from Rutkowski Law. As someone with absolutely no idea what to even ask I found them patient, kind and willing to go the extra mile to answer questions. If you need an attorney you can’t go wrong reaching out to Rutkowski Law Firm.

Peace of Mind for Life’s Most Difficult Moments

Healthcare Power of Attorney in Michigan

A Healthcare POA (also called a medical power of attorney) lets you name someone you trust to make medical decisions if you’re unable to speak for yourself. It’s one of the most critical pieces of a complete estate plan.

Designate a Healthcare Agent: Choose someone you trust to make medical decisions on your behalf if you’re unable.
Ensure Your Wishes Are Followed: Include preferences for life support, pain management, and end-of-life care.
Avoid Family Disputes: Clear instructions prevent confusion or disagreement during emotionally charged times.
Part of a Complete Plan: A Healthcare POA works best when combined with other estate planning tools like a Living Will and Durable POA.
