Healthcare Durable Power Of Attorney 101
with Southern Nevada Senior Law Program
Wednesday, November 18
1:00pm - 2:00pm
Clark County Library
Large Conference RoomLearn about appointing a durable power of attorney (DPOA) for healthcare at this one-hour workshop for Nevadan residents.
A healthcare DPOA (also referred to as a medical power of attorney or health care proxy) is a legal document that designates a trusted person to act as your agent to make medical decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated and unable to communicate directives, are unconscious, or are deemed mentally incompetent. Family members, even a spouse, have no legal right to order healthcare decisions unless appointed by the individual who is being cared for or by being appointed their guardian by a court.
Representatives from Southern Nevada Senior Law Program will be here to explain what is a healthcare DPOA, how to choose an agent, what's included in their responsibilities, Nevada state-specific laws & legal requirements, and why this document is different than a living will.
After this presentation, you will be able to pre-register for an appointment to a Healthcare Power of Attorney Workshop on January 20, 2027. Meet with a Nevada lawyer to draft a durable healthcare power of attorney for free, saving you more than $500 in legal fees.
Free admission and open to the public. Seating is first come, first served and may be limited. For more information, please call 702.507.3458.
In partnership with Southern Nevada Senior Law Program.

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
