These are documents for a Living Will and Durable Powers of Attorney (or
"Appointment of Agent to Make Health Care Decisions"), and Authorization
for the Medical Treatment of Minors. These documents are known to be
valid in Virginia.
If you want legal recognition of your wishes concerning your health care
and your long-term partner's rights to make decisions for you if you are
unable to do so, you should consider signing these documents with your
partner.
You should be aware that signing these documents can have lasting
implications, which might not be appropriate for your situation (if, for
example, you don't want them to last beyond the Gathering). If you have
questions about these documents, you should speak with an attorney before
you sign them.
