Advance medical directives, advance directives, or living wills, are vital for ensuring your healthcare choices are honored in times when you can’t voice them yourself. They serve as your voice during critical health decisions and provide clear guidance to your family and physicians.
The Advance Medical Directive
At Blizzard & Zimmerman Attorneys, we understand the sensitive nature of late-stage medical care discussions. However, documenting your healthcare choices is a fundamental step in safeguarding your dignity and providing peace of mind for both you and your loved ones. Our compassionate attorneys are dedicated to crafting a personalized estate plan that respects your wishes and provides comprehensive support for you and your family.
As defined by the National Institutes of Health National Institute on Aging, Advanced Care Planning involves learning about the types of decisions that might need to be made when you are unable to make them for yourself, considering those decisions ahead of time, and then letting others know—both your family and your health care providers—about your preferences.
Your Wishes, Legally Documented
Advanced medical directives are much more than legal formalities; they are a reflection of your values and preferences regarding your health care. These documents, sometimes named personal directives or advance directives, protect your right to accept or refuse medical treatment based on your wishes.
A well-drafted directive steers your loved ones and healthcare providers during moments when you can’t communicate, particularly concerning end-of-life care.
