Advanced Directives (Living Wills)
We believe that making your wishes known regarding medical care is a critical aspect of estate planning. An advanced directive, commonly known as a living will, empowers you to communicate your healthcare preferences in the event you become unable to do so yourself.
What is an Advanced Directive?
An advanced directive is a legal document that outlines your wishes regarding medical treatment and end-of-life care. It can specify what types of medical interventions you want or do not want, ensuring that your preferences are honored when you cannot speak for yourself.
Benefits of Advanced Directives
- Personal Autonomy: An advanced directive allows you to take control of your medical care decisions, ensuring that your values and preferences guide the treatments you receive.
- Clarity for Loved Ones: By clearly outlining your wishes, you relieve your family members from the emotional burden of making difficult decisions on your behalf during challenging times.
- Guidance for Healthcare Providers: An advanced directive provides clear instructions for healthcare professionals, ensuring they understand your preferences and can act accordingly.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing that your wishes are documented and accessible can bring peace of mind, both for you and your loved ones, during uncertain times.
