Medical power of attorney

Jurisdiction
Missouri
Do I have to go see an attorney to create a medical power of attorney? I have one but I need to change my representative. Can I write one up and have it notarized or do I need an attorney to make it legal?
 
No, you don't need an attorney to make it legal.

There are samples all over the internet or you can use the same format as the one you already have.
 
Ok, I'll look it up online, the one I have now is very vague and it needs to be adjusted to be clearer as to what my wishes are.

Normally your physician, a local hospital, or your insurance provider can provide you durable power of attorney forms.
