Pennsylvania Durable Power of Attorney + Health Care Power of Attorney and Living Will Kit (2 Templates)

Financial and health care decision-makers in one kit: a Pennsylvania Durable Power of Attorney and the statutory combined Health Care Power of Attorney and Living Will.

What's included

• Durable Power of Attorney (11 pages): a financial power of attorney under 20 Pa.C.S. chapter 56, beginning with the statutory Notice of § 5601(c) in capital letters, reproduced verbatim, and ending with the Agent's Acknowledgment of § 5601(d), reproduced verbatim for the agent and two successor agents. Powers are granted by initialing the statutory phrases of § 5602(a); powers that need an express grant under § 5601.4 (gifts, trusts, beneficiary designations and more) are listed separately, with optional sample wording.
• Health Care Power of Attorney and Living Will (13 pages): the combined advance health care directive example form in 20 Pa.C.S. § 5471, “Durable Health Care Power of Attorney and Health Care Treatment Instructions (Living Will),” reproduced verbatim, with its health care agent appointment, treatment instructions, anatomical gift choices and optional notarization block.

Each document starts on its own page with plain-English completion notes, followed by the blank form. Where Pennsylvania law supplies a form, the statutory wording is reproduced verbatim.
