Common Questions About Medical Power of Attorney

  • What does a medical power of attorney do in Texas?

    It allows a trusted person (your agent) to make healthcare decisions for you if you’re unconscious or otherwise unable to communicate.

  • How is this different from a living will or advance directive?

     A medical power of attorney names who will decide. A living will explains what decisions you want made in specific medical situations. Many people choose to have both.

  • When does a medical power of attorney take effect?

     Only when a doctor determines you’re unable to make decisions for yourself. Until then, you remain in full control.

  • Who should I name as my medical power of attorney agent?

    Choose someone who knows your values, can handle pressure, and will advocate for your wishes—not just their own.

  • Why work with Ledbetter Anderson & Associates, LLC?

    We offer thoughtful, one-on-one guidance to help you make these deeply personal decisions with confidence. You’ll work directly with Attorney LaKisha Ledbetter-Anderson every step of the way.
