A healthcare power of attorney — part of your advance medical directive in Maryland — gives someone you trust the legal authority to make medical decisions on your behalf when you cannot. Without one, your family may face a lengthy and expensive court process to obtain guardianship authority. Every adult over 18 should have this document, regardless of age or health status. Choose an agent who understands your values, can handle pressure, and is accessible in an emergency.
