Oregon Power of Attorney

An Oregon Power of Attorney document is a legally backed form that a person, referred to in this instance as a Principal, would use to convey their decision-making power to someone they trust, referred to as an Agent. As an Agent, the appointed individual can make decisions and take action just as the Principal would. In Oregon, these documents must conform to Chapter 127 of the Oregon Revised Statutes, which state that in regards to healthcare, an Agent will have the ability to make medical decisions when these decisions do not conflict with any other directives.
