[WSBAPT] Clients want to name children in Health Care Directive

[LISA ATKINSON]

Thank you all!!

They agreed that language in the HCPOA about 
withdrawing life-sustaining procedures, along with adding a reference in
 the HCD to the HCPOA would address their concerns.

I love this listserve!

Why not couple the Health Care Directive with a Power of Attorney for health care decisions naming the children in that document?  I have also seen done, but
 not  done myself, a combined health care directive and power of attorney, in one document, indicating wishes, but directing child(ren) as agents to have the authority to interpret the health care directive.
 
I assume the children are adults.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Clients want to name children in Health Care Directive

Importance: High


 

Colleagues,



First time issue for me.  Clients, non-native English speakers, want to put their children's names into a Health Care Directive to require physicians to consult with and get approval from the children before honoring the terms of the HCD.  I have tried to explain,
 in many different ways, why this is not appropriate, but I can't find any legal citation to support my explanation.



Anyone have suggestions?  I tried to suggest that under their Health Care POA, their children have a say in treatment/etc, but that the HCD is to be their choice.



Please let me know if you have suggestions.



Thanks,



Lisa
