In addition to the decisional capacity, which is an important consideration, the rules about who can make decisions for others and under what conditions are State-specific. A good resource is the Office of the State Attorney General. The National Association of State Attorneys General made end of life care decision-making a priority recently and all members were invited to address these issues within their home States. Most of the Attorneys General have web-sites where you can search for this information.
