Your attorney for personal care is the person you authorize to make decisions about your health care, housing, and other personal matters if you become mentally incapable of making those decisions yourself. You can appoint a single attorney and backup attorneys in case your first choice is unable or unwilling to act. You cannot appoint co-attorneys for personal care.
Steps to appoint or change an attorney for property

You will be prompted to choose your attorney setup. Your attorney for personal care can be any trusted person who is willing and able to advocate for your health and well-being.
