What Are Advance Directives?
Advance directives are legal documents that allow individuals to communicate their healthcare wishes and appoint someone to make medical decisions on their behalf if they are incapacitated. Common types of advance directives include:
- Living wills: A document specifying your preferences for medical treatments, such as life-sustaining measures, in situations where you cannot communicate.
- Durable powers of attorney for healthcare: A legal designation of a trusted individual to make medical decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so.
Having these documents in place provides peace of mind for you and your family, better ensuring that your healthcare choices align with your values and beliefs.
