New Rules Regarding Health Care Powers of Attorney and Visitation

In September of 2022, the Arizona Legislature enacted a new statute regarding access to Principals who are incapacitated.  The new law limits the Agents ability to restrict persons who have a connection to the Principal and will require Agents to file Court actions.  As practitioners, there are strategies we can help them include in their HCPOAs to give Agents broader powers to control visitation and avoid Court action.
