In Kronenwetter, planning ahead for medical care gives you control over decisions when you can’t speak for yourself. Our estate planning team helps you create clear directives that reflect your values.
Working with a knowledgeable attorney makes it easier to choose the right documents, appoint a trusted health care agent, and review your wishes over time.
Having advance directives and a living will reduces stress for family, ensures your medical preferences are followed, and helps doctors coordinate care.

An advance directive is a legal document that communicates your medical care preferences for times when you cannot speak for yourself. It can include your wishes about life-sustaining treatments and the appointment of a health care proxy. By completing this document, you provide clear guidance to your medical team and loved ones. It helps ensure your values are respected even if you lose decision-making capacity.
A health care proxy is someone you trust to make medical decisions for you if you are unable to do so. Choose a person who understands your values and who can act promptly in emergencies. Discuss your wishes with them so they can advocate effectively on your behalf. In Wisconsin, this appointment is part of your durable power of attorney for health care.
A living will outlines which life-sustaining treatments you want or do not want in end-of-life situations. It complements other directives by providing concrete instructions. Wisconsin recognizes living wills as part of your overall health care planning, but you may also include a durable power of attorney for health care for broader decision-making.
Common documents for end-of-life planning include a living will, a durable power of attorney for health care, and an advance directive. You may also consider a do-not-resuscitate order if appropriate, and ensure your physicians and family members have copies of these documents.
Yes. You can update or revoke your directives at any time as your circumstances or wishes change. We recommend periodic reviews, especially after major life events like marriage, relocation, or changes in health status.
Yes. Clear directives help clinicians make quick, informed decisions during emergencies and reduce uncertainty for families. Your health care proxy can step in to interpret your preferences when time is critical.
A living will focuses on treatments you want or don’t want, while a durable power of attorney for health care appoints someone to make broader medical decisions for you. Both work together to ensure your care aligns with your values.
Keep copies with your primary care provider, your health care agent, and in a safe, accessible location. Provide copies to hospitals or clinics you may visit and give your agent a list of where to find the originals.
Wisconsin may require witnesses or notarization for certain documents. We guide you through the exact requirements to ensure your directives are valid and enforceable.
