An advance directive is a legal document that communicates your treatment preferences for medical care in situations where you cannot speak for yourself. It may specify wishes about resuscitation, life sustaining measures, and preferred care settings. The directive helps guide physicians and loved ones when timely decisions are needed.
A healthcare proxy should be someone you trust to make medical decisions on your behalf when you cannot. Consider someone who understands your values, communicates clearly, and is willing to advocate for your stated preferences. It is wise to discuss your choices with that person and provide written guidance.
A living will documents your preferences for treatments in end of life situations. It works in tandem with a healthcare proxy and advance directive to ensure your care aligns with your wishes. Review and update as needed.
While you can draft simple directives on your own, consulting an attorney helps ensure your documents meet local requirements, are clear, and are legally enforceable. A professional can tailor forms to fit your health and family situation.
It is wise to review directives after major health changes, new medical treatments, or changes in family circumstances. Set a reminder to revisit the documents periodically.
Store copies with your attorney, in a secure location at home, and share copies with your healthcare proxy and care team so they can access them when needed.
Directives are intended to be recognized by providers wherever you receive care, but you may need to ensure the documents comply with local requirements when moving across states.
If you relocate, bring your existing directives and have them reviewed for compliance with new state or country rules. Updates may be necessary to remain effective.
Yes. You can update or revoke directives as your preferences change. Keep copies current and distribute updated versions.
Service costs vary based on document types and complexity. We provide clear pricing during the initial consultation and offer bundled options when appropriate.
