Kansas Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care Decisions
In Kansas, the document that names someone to make medical decisions for you when you cannot speak for yourself is called a durable power of attorney for health care decisions. Elsewhere it goes by medical power of attorney or advance directive agent designation: same role, local name. In Kansas, a durable power of attorney for health care decisions generally must be either acknowledged before a notary public or signed by two witnesses (Kan. Stat. Ann. 58-629).
This template walks you through naming your agent and an alternate, describing the authority you grant, and signing it the way Kansas expects. Download the finished document in Word and PDF.
