[WSBAPT] Medical POA - with power for Involuntary Commitment

[Carla Higginson]

Dear Brent,

I have used a mental health advance directive for this purpose, and a copy of that form is attached.  I have not needed to use it for several years so you might want to check it against the statute in case there have been any changes, but feel free to use this otherwise as you wish.

Regards,
Carla Higginson

Subject: [WSBAPT] Medical POA - with power for Involuntary Commitment

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
