medical durable power of attorney allows an agent to make healthcare decisions if you become unable to do so. Paired with a financial power of attorney and other planning tools, it can help avoid costly court proceedings like conservatorship. These documents support continuity in paying bills, managing investments, and preserving property. They also reduce the risk of asset dissipation during a health crisis. Colorado statutes authorize these powers and outline their scope. See the medical durable power of attorney statute for an overview. Reach out to us for more information.
