The Alaska medical power of attorney, also referred to as the “durable power of attorney for health care”, lets a person (“principal”) choose someone else (“agent”) to act for his or her best interest in making health care decisions when the principal cannot do so because of a mental condition. This form is commonly used among the elderly, high risk diseases, and the terminally ill so that family’s may be able to have clarity on the medical direction of someone by having one voice be the final decision-maker.

Laws – AS 13.52.010

The form must be completed before any type of tragedy should take place and be authorized by either two (2) non-blood related witnesses or a notary public.
