An advance healthcare directive is a legal document that outlines your medical preferences and designates who may make decisions for you if you’re unable to communicate. It can include a living will and appoint a healthcare agent. The directive helps ensure your wishes guide medical care when needed.
Your healthcare agent should be someone you trust to make medical decisions in line with your values. This is often a spouse, adult child, or a close family member or friend. Discuss expectations with them and provide clear instructions.
You can revise directives by discussing changes with your attorney, updating the documents, and re-signing with proper witnesses or notarization according to Wisconsin law. Keep old copies with a note indicating they’re superseded.
Wisconsin may require witnesses or notarization depending on the document type. Your attorney will guide you through the correct execution process to ensure validity and accessibility.
A living will states your preferences for life-sustaining treatment, while a durable power of attorney for healthcare appoints an agent to make decisions when you cannot. Both can be used together to create a comprehensive plan.
