An advance directive is a formal document that records your medical preferences and designates a health care proxy to act when you cannot communicate. It helps ensure your wishes guide treatment and reduces uncertainty for family members during medical crises. Your attorney can tailor directives to Wisconsin law and your personal values.
Choosing a health care proxy should be someone you trust to understand and honor your values. Discuss expectations with that person, and consider choosing an alternate proxy in case your first choice is unavailable.
Living wills describe preferences for treatments at the end of life and may need updating as health or laws change. They do not cover every possible scenario, so many clients pair them with a durable power of attorney for health care.
If you become unable to communicate suddenly, your advance directive and health care proxy will help physicians follow your preferences without waiting for a court decision.
Wisconsin requires witnessing or notarization for certain documents. Your attorney will ensure your forms meet state requirements so they are legally valid.
