KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS, that I, [principal_name] (the "Principal"), a resident of the State of [state_law], being of sound mind and under no duress, do hereby make, constitute, and appoint [agent_name] (the "Agent" or "Attorney-in-Fact") as my true and lawful Agent, to act for me and in my name, place, and stead, with respect to the powers and authority described herein.
WHEREAS, the Principal desires to appoint the Agent to act on the Principal's behalf with respect to certain matters, as more particularly described herein; and
WHEREAS, the Agent is willing to accept such appointment and to act in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this instrument; and
WHEREAS, the Principal intends this Power of Attorney to be governed by the laws of the State of [state_law] and all applicable provisions of the Uniform Power of Attorney Act as adopted therein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Principal hereby declares and grants this Power of Attorney as follows:
The Principal hereby appoints [agent_name] as the Principal's Attorney-in-Fact (the "Agent"). The Agent shall have the authority to act on behalf of the Principal in all matters described in this instrument, subject to any limitations expressly set forth herein. The Agent shall exercise such powers in a fiduciary capacity, in good faith, and in the best interests of the Principal at all times. The Agent shall act with the care, competence, and diligence ordinarily exercised by agents in similar circumstances and shall not engage in any self-dealing or conflict of interest unless expressly authorized herein.
The authority granted to the Agent under this Power of Attorney is designated as follows and shall be construed in accordance with the applicable type of authority selected below.
Subject to the type of authority designated above, the Principal hereby grants the Agent the following specific powers and authority: [powers_granted] The Agent shall exercise the foregoing powers prudently and in the Principal's best interests. In the event of any ambiguity regarding the scope of the powers granted herein, such ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of granting the Agent the authority reasonably necessary to carry out the Principal's stated intentions. The Agent may employ and compensate, at the Principal's expense, such professionals, advisors, accountants, and attorneys as the Agent deems reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of the Agent's duties hereunder.
This Power of Attorney shall become effective as of 2026-04-19, subject to any springing provisions described in Section 2 above.
This Power of Attorney shall expire and terminate automatically on 2026-04-19, unless sooner revoked by the Principal or terminated by operation of law. Upon the expiration date, the Agent's authority under this instrument shall cease immediately, and the Agent shall have no further power to act on the Principal's behalf. Any actions taken by the Agent after the expiration date shall be void and of no legal effect.
Any third party who receives a copy of this Power of Attorney, whether original, photocopy, or electronically transmitted, may rely upon the authority granted herein and may act in accordance with the Agent's instructions without liability to the Principal or the Principal's estate, heirs, or assigns. No third party shall be required to inquire into the validity or continuing effectiveness of this instrument, nor shall any third party be liable for acting in good faith reliance upon this Power of Attorney. A third party who refuses to honor this Power of Attorney may be liable for attorneys' fees and damages as provided by applicable law. The Principal hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any third party who acts in good faith reliance upon the representations and authority of the Agent under this instrument.
The Principal reserves the right to revoke, amend, or modify this Power of Attorney at any time, provided that the Principal has the legal capacity to do so. Any revocation, amendment, or modification shall be in writing and shall be effective upon delivery of written notice to the Agent and to any third party who has previously relied upon this instrument. Until a third party receives actual written notice of revocation, such third party may continue to rely upon the authority granted herein and shall not be liable for any actions taken in good faith reliance upon this Power of Attorney prior to receiving such notice. Upon revocation, the Agent shall promptly return to the Principal all documents, records, property, and funds in the Agent's possession or control that belong to or relate to the affairs of the Principal.
This Power of Attorney shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of [state_law], including but not limited to the Uniform Power of Attorney Act as adopted by the State of [state_law] and any amendments thereto. The Principal consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of [state_law] for the resolution of any disputes arising out of or relating to this instrument. If any provision of this Power of Attorney is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed from this instrument and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
The Agent is hereby authorized to manage all affairs of the Chiropractic practice in accordance with the Michigan Chiropractic Practice Act. This includes, but is not limited to, ensuring all clinic operations maintain compliance with the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Michigan-specific data breach notification requirements. The Agent shall have the power to authorize the release of clinical records, including spinal adjustment logs and X-rays, only as permitted by law and the principal’s existing informed consent protocols.
In accordance with the Michigan Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act (MCL 423.501), the Agent is authorized to manage chiropractic clinic personnel files and facilitate mandatory employee inspections of such records. Furthermore, the Agent must operate all practice staffing decisions in compliance with the Michigan Right to Work Law (MCL 423.209), ensuring no employment condition requires union membership or dues payment, and ensuring all non-compete agreements remain 'reasonable' under MCL 445.774a.
The Agent is granted authority to represent the Principal in all insurance billing disputes and malpractice liability matters. This includes the power to defend against patient injury claims or informed consent gaps. Given Michigan's use of modified comparative fault rules, the Agent is authorized to negotiate settlements and manage communications with the Principal's professional liability insurance carrier to mitigate financial exposure from clinical adjustment claims.

As a Michigan Doctor of Chiropractic, your practice is subject to strict Chiropractic Practice Acts and private health information regulations under HIPAA. Whether you are managing spinal adjustment liability or handling OSHA safety standards, you cannot leave your patient treatment plans or insurance billing to chance if you become unavailable. This specialized Power of Attorney ensures that your Practice Agent has specific authority to manage Michigan-specific business concerns, including Bullard-Plawecki record disclosures and professional liability insurance matters without disrupting patient care.
Beyond the standard power of attorney sections, this template adds fields specific to Chiropractor:
A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that enables one person (the principal) to designate another person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) to make decisions and act on their behalf in specified or all matters. The document serves as a legal empowerment that allows the agent to manage affairs such as financial transactions, health care decisions, and legal proceedings, thereby ensuring the principal's affairs can be managed even if they are incapacitated or unavailable to oversee them directly.
Patient injury claims
Use detailed informed consent forms and patient waivers clarifying the treatment risks and procedures involved.
Malpractice liability
Secure comprehensive malpractice insurance and ensure it is up to date; maintain detailed patient records and treatment logs.
Yes. This document allows you to grant specific authority to handle insurance billing audits and reimbursement disputes, which are common pain points for Michigan D.C.s under the Michigan Data Breach Notification Act and modified comparative fault rules.
Absolutely. To be enforceable under Michigan law, a Power of Attorney must be signed by the principal and typically requires notarization and witnesses to satisfy Michigan capacity standards and prevent fraud.
Only if specified. Under the Michigan Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act, employees have a right to inspect their records. This POA can authorize your agent to manage these requests and ensure HIPAA compliance for clinical staff.
