What Is an Advance Directive?

An advance directive is a crucial legal instrument enabling you to plan for both your own future and that of your loved ones. Sometimes referred to as living wills or healthcare proxies, these documents allow you to articulate your preferences for end-of-life care and empower you to make decisions on your behalf when you're unable to do so.

Advance directives also serve to safeguard the well-being of your family should you become incapacitated. At our firm, we specialize in tailoring advance directives to your unique needs.

Advance directives typically encompass the following components:

• A living will, where you can outline your preferences for end-of-life medical care.

• A healthcare proxy, designates an individual to make healthcare decisions in your stead.

• A financial power of attorney, grants someone the authority to make financial choices on your behalf.

When to Update Your Advance Directives
