When does the Medical Power of Attorney go into effect and how long is it effective?
It depends on your state law, and therefore, the language of the Power of attorney: in most states it comes into effect after your doctor certifies that you luck the capacity to make your own health care decisions.
Some states allow it to be effective immediately after it is properly executed and delivered to the agent. It is effective indefinitely unless it contains a specific termination date, it is revoked, or the principal regains consciousness and competency.
