If there ever comes a time when you are unable to make health care decisions for yourself, it is important that you have made the necessary arrangements for a person you trust to be able to make those decisions for you. This is especially important if you become terminally ill or need to be put on life support. Your wishes with regard to end of life care should be clearly documented.
Not only does having health care directives in place help you make your wishes clearly known, it also eliminates uncertainty and the potential for infighting among your family members. Depending on your personal situation, preparing your advanced health care directives could be a very straightforward process. If you currently have or there is a family history for a particular illness, however, it may need to be addressed in your directives.
Making Sure You Are Prepared for Any Occurrence
At the law firm of Kirsch Gartenberg Howard LLP, our Bergen County health care directives lawyers have experience with a broad range of health care directive matters. We can help you prepare all of the necessary documents, including a Power of Attorney for medical care decisions and your advanced medical directive (also known as a living will).
We understand people's hesitation with addressing these types of issues. Nobody wants to think about a time when they will be unable to make their own decisions or be faced with the idea of continuing life support or not. You will be much farther ahead, though, if you make your wishes known now.
