Advanced Health Care DirectiveAdvanced Health Care Directive
It’s estimated that four out of five Americans do not have a living will or any other written health care or end-of-life directive to help their families make decisions for them if they become incapacitated. Health care and end-of-life advance planning, if done right, accomplishes four things:
Ensures that the person you want to speak for you has the legal authority to do so
Helps ensure that your wishes about your health care are known and respected
Avoids unnecessary, intrusive, and costly medical treatment at the point you not longer want it
Reduces the suffering experienced by your loved ones, because they will have your guidance
