Public Turns to Bar Website for Health Care Directives

More than 13,000 Hits on Downloadable Durable Power of Attorney
Since Monday morning, The Missouri Bar Website has recorded 13,130 visits to the Bar’s Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care and Health Care Directives (DPA) form, an indication that the Terri Schiavo case has prompted Missourians to think about ways to legally document their personal wishes and/or appoint a health care proxy, should they become incapacitated. The Bar´s DPA, instructions and a stand-alone HIPAA form can be downloaded or a printed copy can be ordered at no cost by visiting www.mobar.org.

Good info SJ...been thinking about asking Mary to put a "sticky" at top of this section regarding this stuff and difference between Living Will and Health Care Directives w/ POA. The political/legislative football reminds me of the 2000 election. This entire Shiavo case is a tragedy for every type of institution (family, marital, medical, legislative, judicial etc.).

POA for Florida

Is the Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care and Health Care Directive prepared for the state of Missouri also valid for the state of Florida?
