Advance Health Care Directives

Advance Health Care Directives are legal documents that allow you to make decisions about your health care in the event that you become unable to do so yourself. They provide instructions for medical professionals and family members on how to handle your medical care if you become incapacitated or otherwise unable to make decisions. These directives can include a living will, which outlines your wishes regarding end-of-life care, as well as other types of advance directives such as durable power of attorney for health care or appointing a healthcare proxy. Advance Health Care Directives ensure that your wishes are respected and followed, even if you cannot express them yourself.
