Living Will and Health Care Power of Attorney (CO)

This questionnaire helps you to create a Declaration as to Medical Treatment (Living Will) and a Medical Durable Power of Attorney, for use by a resident of Colorado.

1. Declaration as to Medical Treatment. This allows you to explicitly describe the care you want if you are in a terminal condition or persistent vegetative state, or if you are incapacitated and can no longer speak for yourself about medical or surgical treatment.
2. Medical Durable Power of Attorney. This allows you to appoint a person to enforce your health care directions, including decisions about life support if you are incapacitated and can no longer speak for yourself.
