Health Care Directive
Is it difficult to prepare a Health Care directive?
No, the form is available online.
The Advanced Health Care Directive (also called a living will) allows you to document your wishes and priorities for end-of-life care. This document is shared with your agent (the person who will be carrying out your wishes), your doctor, and the medical institution that may be treating you. Additionally, if your loved one is not your legal spouse or direct family member, the Advanced Health Care Directive allows them to take decisions on your behalf without hassles from the medical institution. By thinking and planning in advance, you can help to avoid conflict, regrets, and unnecessary medical expenses in your final days. It’s a difficult subject to think about, but both you and your loved ones will be grateful that you did should the need ever arise.
