[WSBAPT] Medical POA - with power for Involuntary Commitment

[Sara D. Longley]

Second the Mental Health Care Advance Directive.  There is a form in the statute.  I also recommend you contact Lisa Brodoff at Seattle U Law School who was instrumental in developing this tool.

Good Afternoon List - 

 

I have a client who is looking to expressly grant her Medical POA the authority to involuntarily commit her for mental health reasons. 

 

Has anyone do an advanced POA like that - and willing to share?

 

Thank you!

 

Brent
