Ann was seriously ill and feared that she might lapse into a coma or somehow become unable to speak or act for herself in her medical emergency. She is aware that agents ordinarily lose their authority to act for principals who become mentally disabled
She nevertheless desires to have her husband Alberto make medical decisions and speak on her behalf. She is particularly concerned about existing on life support in a persistent and incurable vegetative state. Is there any action that she might take to enable Alberto to act for her?
?If the state in which Ann resides has adopted the Uniform Durable Power of Attorney Act, she can designate Alberto in writing as the agent whose authority shall not be affected by the subsequent disability or incapacity of the principal. Alberto then would be authorized to act on her behalf.
