Do I need a Medical Power of Attorney? Legal Documents You Need for Medical Situations

Why do you need a medical Power of Attorney? And is that all you need as your parents get older? What about a Medical Directive or a HIPAA release? What do you need to know about a "DNR" (Do Not Resuscitate) order? And is there a reason why you can't DIY these things and do them yourself?

Kim and Mike Barnes of Parenting Aging Parents talk to Jeff Barnett and Keith Leuty, lawyers with PAP Sponsor Barnett & Leuty PC to get answers to these questions and more.
