Introduction
Alternate Endings
An Advance Directive ensures that you stay in charge of your life’s story through the end.
Instead of risking an alternate ending dictated by uncertainty, emotions, or court involvement, your wishes are clearly defined and an agent is legally assigned to manage your affairs. This allows you to call the shots on your future medical care and choose a trusted decision-maker in cases of incapacity.
Overview
Two Parts, One Goal
Advance directives have separate but equally important parts - a Living Will and a Power of Attorney. Together, they ensure your desires and wishes in an often very difficult and uncertain time for yourself and your loved ones.
Living Wills
Your Written Instructions
A living will outlines the treatments one does or does not want in specific end-of-life situations.
While none of us know exactly how our story will end, or how the final scenes will look, a living will lets us plan for different possibilities.
Durable Power of Attorney
Your Decision Maker
A power of attorney designates a trusted representative to make decisions in cases of incapacity. This person is legally authorized to act on your behalf, carry out your wishes, and manage related affairs.
This can include making medical decisions, handling financial and legal matters, communicating with doctors and care providers, and ensuring your personal preferences are respected.
