New Jersey Medical Power of Attorney Form

A New Jersey medical power of attorney allows a principal to select an agent to carry out their health care wishes if the principal cannot do so on their own. It is common, for example, for spouses to grant each other medical power of attorney. Therefore, if one becomes incapacitated, the other can speak on their behalf.
