Living Wills or Advance Directives
Legal documents that provide directives for your medical care
It may be a concern that in old age, or following a serious illness or accident, you may be kept alive at a time when you have lost your mental capacity. An Advance Directive or Living Will expresses your wishes to your doctor in such an event.
This usually means that under certain circumstances you do not want your life prolonged by medical treatment, but you do want to be kept comfortable with pain relief, even with the consequence of shortening your life.
At Lifetime Estate Planning we are experienced in advising people concerning Advance Directives and drawing the document up.
