A Utah health care power of attorney, sometimes called a Utah Health Care Agent designation, is a document that allows you to appoint a person (the agent) whom you trust to make health care decisions on your behalf, if you are unable to make those decisions yourself due to injury, mental incapacity or illness. These decisions include the management of your health care in order to keep you alive and well, or the termination of your life support. The individual appointed by you does not have the authority to act on your behalf until such time as you are unable to act of your own accord.
