THE REALITY
Don't Wait for an Emergency
56% of American adults don't have a power of attorney. A medical emergency, an aging parent, an upcoming surgery — these situations don't come with advance notice. Having a power of attorney and healthcare directive in place before you need them means your family won't face impossible decisions during their hardest moments.
* CivicScience U.S. Adults Survey, 2023. Only 44% of adults report having any form of power of attorney.
Medical Emergencies
Without a healthcare proxy, doctors may not know your wishes — and your family can't speak for you.
Financial Protection
Without a POA, nobody can pay your bills, manage your accounts, or handle your finances if you're incapacitated.
Family Peace of Mind
Clear directives prevent family disagreements and costly court proceedings during already difficult moments.
The best time to create these documents is right now, while you're healthy and clear-headed.

What New York law does by default when there's no plan — and the Sunset document that changes it.

What if dementia comes before you sign a power of attorney?
Once you can no longer understand what you're signing, it's too late — your family may have to petition for an Article 81 guardianship.
Power of Attorney
Sign your power of attorney while you're well — simple now, possibly impossible later.

What if your spouse needs to act on accounts in your name?
Marriage alone gives them no authority over your individual accounts — banks ask for a power of attorney or a court order.
Power of Attorney
A power of attorney lets your spouse act for you — on the terms you set.
Name your agent → Free -
What if your end-of-life wishes were never written down?
Your family has to decide about life support without knowing what you wanted — and may not agree.
Healthcare Proxy + Living Will
A living will records your wishes, and your healthcare proxy names who speaks for you.
-
What if your child just turned 18?
They're a legal adult now — doctors no longer have to share their health information with you.
HIPAA Release
They can sign a HIPAA release and healthcare proxy naming you — it takes minutes, plus two witnesses for the proxy.

FAQ
Common Questions About NY Power of Attorney & Healthcare Directives
Signing, notarization, and what each New York document actually covers.
A healthcare proxy names someone to make medical decisions on your behalf if you can't. A living will specifies your end-of-life preferences (like life support, resuscitation, and comfort care). Together, they ensure your medical wishes are respected and someone you trust can act on them.
