One of the most popular powers of attorney in Ohio is the health care power of attorney. This document allows you to appoint a health care representative to make medical decisions on your behalf. You should provide specific instructions to the person you select as your health care agent or representative. It is very important that you talk about your health care wishes with the person to whom you are giving the legal authority.
