Who makes medical decisions if patient unconscious Georgia?

In Georgia, if a patient is unconscious and unable to make medical decisions, healthcare providers typically refer to advance directives, such as a living will or durable power of attorney for healthcare, if available. If no advance directives exist, the hierarchy of surrogate decision-makers is followed, starting with the spouse, adult children, parents, and then siblings. In the absence of any designated decision-maker, the healthcare team may seek a court-appointed guardian.
