144B.2 - DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR HEALTH CARE.

        144B.2  DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR HEALTH CARE.
         A durable power of attorney for health care authorizes the
      attorney in fact to make health care decisions for the principal if
      the durable power of attorney for health care substantially complies
      with the requirements of this chapter.  A document executed prior to
      May 8, 1991, purporting to create a durable power of attorney for
      health care shall be deemed valid if the document specifically
      authorizes the attorney in fact to make health care decisions and is
      signed by the principal.
