Advance Healthcare Directive
Ensure Your Medical Wishes Are Honored—Even When You Can’t Speak for Yourself
An Advance Healthcare Directives empowers you to make critical decisions about your future medical care—before a crisis occurs. At Deetman Law Office, we help you clearly document your treatment preferences and designate a trusted individual to speak on your behalf if you become unable to communicate.
What is an Advance Healthcare Directives?
Also known as a living will or medical directive, this legal document outlines the types of medical treatment you do or do not want in situations such as terminal illness, unconsciousness, or severe cognitive decline. It can also appoint a healthcare agent to ensure your wishes are followed.
Why it Matters?
Without an Advanced Healthcare Directive, your loved ones may be forced to make difficult decisions without knowing your preferences. This document:
- Clarifies your choices regarding life-sustaining treatments
- Reduces stress and confusion for your family during medical emergencies
- Ensures your values and beliefs guide your care
- Helps avoid unwanted procedures or prolonged suffering
