If the person has Alzheimer's must I also use the Psychiatric Power of Attorney
In North Carolina, a Healthcare Power of Attorney can cover mental health treatments for Alzheimer's patients. However, it's essential to consult with a legal professional to ensure you have all necessary documents and rights to make decisions on behalf of the patient.
This is for Georgia
