What is the name of your state? Montana
I am listed on a Health Care Directive for an old person who is in a rest home. The Directive states basically that I can make any decision about this persons health care including but not limited to "pulling the plug" to making funeral arrangements etc. etc. It really does cover everything.
My question is this: There are also a couple other people listed on this Directive all of us having the exact same powers. What happens if a very important issue comes up and we all cannot agree on what to do ? Does the majority rule or what ? I can see a possible conflict in the future and basically the Health Care Directive is really to avoid this sort of thing.
