Nebraska’s Health Care and Treatment Decisions statute
allows you to appoint an agent (called an “Attorney in fact”) to make
healthcare decisions for you if you become incompetent to make those
decisions yourself. “Health care” may include mental health care. A
recommended form for this purpose, called a Power of Attorney, is
available here
. The form is not mandatory but is helpful because you must in any
event follow the formalities listed in the statute. Nebraska Advocacy Services has published some helpful further
information, available here .
