Investopedia explains 'Proxy Directive'
If you as a capable individual wanted to assign your children the right to make all health-care decisions should you become incapacitated, you would need to create a proxy directive. The proxy (the assigned decision-maker) is only in charge of making decisions related to your health. They cannot access your money and are not bound to pay your bills.
