In addition, my agent should be designated as the conservator in the event that such an appointment becomes necessary.
3. INTERPRETATION AND GOVERNING LAW. This instrument is to be construed and interpreted as a general durable power of attorney. The enumeration of specific powers herein is not intended to, nor does it, limit or restrict the general powers herein granted to my agent. This Instrument is executed and delivered in the State of Connecticut, which shall govern all questions as to the validity of this power and the construction of its provisions.
4. THIRD-PARTY RELIANCE. Third parties may rely upon the representations of my agent as to all matters to any power granted to my agent, and no person who may act in reliance on my agent shall incur any liability to me or my estate as a result of permitting my agent to exercise any power.

6. RELEASE OF MEDICAL INFORMATION. I authorize the release of my individually identifiable protected health information to my agent pursuant to 45 C.F.R. Sec. 164.502(g)(2). I intend that my agent be treated as I would, with respect to my rights regarding the use and disclosure of my individually identifiable protected health information and/or any other medical records. I authorize any physician, health-care professional, dentist, health plan, hospital, clinic, laboratory, pharmacy, or other health care provider, insurance company, Medical Information Bureau, Inc. (or other healthcare clearing house), or any other health care provider that has provided treatment or services to me or that has paid for or is seeking payment for such services, to give, disclose and release to my agent, without restriction, all of my individually identifiable health care information and medical records regarding past, present or future medical or mental health conditions, to specifically include but not be limited to all information relating to the diagnosis and treatment of HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, mental illness and drug or alcohol abuse. This authorization shall supersede any prior agreement I may have made with my health care providers to restrict access to or disclosure of my individually identifiable health information. This authorization has no expiration date and shall not require any re-authorization by me at any particular time interval and may be revoked by me in writing and delivered to my health care provider.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this General Durable Power of Attorney, and I have directed that photographic copies of this power shall have the same force and effect as an original.
