Grah Law LLC has supported families in Juneau County and across Wisconsin with estate planning and probate needs. Our approach focuses on practical, compassionate guidance to help you prepare comprehensive directives.
Advance directives are legal documents that spell out your medical preferences and appoint a decision maker. A living will provides guidance about end-of-life care based on your wishes.
Together, these instruments ensure your values shape your care and help loved ones navigate medical decisions during challenging times.
An advance directive is a legal document that records your instructions for medical treatment and designates who should speak for you if you cannot. A living will outlines specific preferences for life-sustaining treatments.
Key elements include choosing a health care agent, naming alternate agents, specifying treatments you want or decline, and signing with witnesses according to Wisconsin law. The process typically involves a consultation, document drafting, and proper notarization or witnessing.
Common terms you may encounter when planning healthcare directives and living wills include advance directive, living will, health care proxy, durable power of attorney for health care, and HIPAA authorization.
