Grah Law, LLC serves Wisconsin communities with estate planning and probate guidance, including drafting advance healthcare directives and living wills for families in Genoa City and beyond.
Advance healthcare directives are documents that state your medical preferences in case you become unable to communicate.
A living will outlines the treatments you would or would not want, while a healthcare power of attorney appoints someone to make decisions for you.
In Wisconsin, an advance directive combines a living will with a healthcare proxy option, ensuring your choices are respected by medical teams and your chosen agent.
Key elements include naming a health care agent, specifying treatment preferences, designating a surrogate decision maker, and updating documents as circumstances change. The process involves legal drafting, signing with witnesses and notaries, and regular review.
