Can my spouse or partner make medical decisions for me if I’m too sick to choose?

If you’re legally married or in a registered partnership your state recognizes, your spouse or partner can step in. Otherwise, state law turns to your family of origin. To keep the choice in your hands, sign a Health Care Power of Attorney naming your spouse or partner as your health‑care agent (and future guardian, if one is ever needed). With that document, your partner’s voice comes first—regardless of where you live.

There's a lot that goes into setting up a comprehensive estate plan, but with our FREE worksheet, you'll be one step closer to getting yourself and your family on the path to a secure and happy future.
