Grah Law LLC focuses on Estate Planning and Probate in Wisconsin, including Nashotah. Our team combines practical experience with compassionate guidance to prepare durable and legally sound directives.
Advance directives describe what medical care you want if you can’t speak for yourself, and a living will sets consent preferences for end-of-life care.
Wisconsin law recognizes these documents and appoints a trusted agent to make decisions when you’re unable to communicate.
An advance directive is a legal document that records your healthcare choices in advance, while a living will outlines specific treatment preferences. Together, they guide medical decisions and help align care with your values.
Typical elements include a healthcare agent (or durable power of attorney for health care), your treatment preferences, and any HIPAA authorization to share medical information. The process usually involves a consultation, document drafting, execution, and storage.
