Take Control of Your Medical Care Decisions
Planning for the unexpected is one of the most important gifts you can give yourself and your loved ones. An Advance Health Care Directive allows you to clearly communicate your medical wishes and appoint a trusted person to make decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so.
At Jeffrey Orr Law, we help individuals and families create personalized Advance Health Care Directives that ensure your voice is heard, even in difficult times.
What is an Advance Health Care Directive?
An Advance Health Care Directive is a legal document that:
- Appoints a Health Care Agent: Designates someone you trust to make medical decisions on your behalf.
- Specifies Treatment Preferences: Outlines your wishes regarding life-sustaining treatment, pain management, organ donation, and other critical medical decisions.
- Provides Guidance to Loved Ones and Physicians: Ensures that your choices are known and honored, relieving your family of the burden of guessing what you would want.
This important planning tool helps maintain your dignity, protect your rights, and avoid confusion during medical emergencies.
Why You Need an Advance Health Care Directive
- Maintain Control: Ensure that your health care preferences are followed, even if you cannot communicate them yourself.
- Protect Loved Ones: Spare your family the emotional stress and potential disagreements that can arise without clear guidance.
- Avoid Legal Complications: Prevent court intervention or disputes about who should make decisions for you.
- Comprehensive Planning: Coordinate your health care wishes with your broader estate planning goals.
Advance Health Care Directives are not just for the elderly or seriously ill—they are an essential part of planning for any adult.
