Living Will
A living will is frequently called a directive to physicians. This document allows you to make healthcare decisions known so in case you become unable to communicate your agent can make decisions on your behalf.
Why is a Living Will Important?
- Guarantees your values and wishes are respected even when you cannot speak.
- Avoid family disputes. Clearly this did not happen in the case involving Terri Schiavo.
- Describe your wishes for life support and resuscitation.
- Living will states your specific treatment preferences as opposed to a Medical Power of Attorney that appoints a person like an agent to make medical decisions on your behalf. As such, both a Living Will and Medical Power of Attorney are necessary when completing a comprehensive estate plan.
At David Bindrup Law Firm our Nevada Living Will Attorneys can help protect and secure your specific medical treatment, so the courts don’t get involved in your medical treatments and decision making.
