The advance health care directive is probably one of the most important documents included in estate planning. This document outlines a person’s wishes for medical care, personal care, and living arrangements, just to name a few, in the event that they are unable to make decisions for themselves. It can include, but is not limited to, specific directives regarding treatments such as life-sustaining measures, end-of-life decisions, and organ donation. An advance health care directive will also include appointing an agent to make medical decisions on the person’s behalf should they become unable to do so. This document will remain in effect even if the person becomes incapacitated or is otherwise unable to communicate their wishes. So, make sure to create one if you want your wishes to be honored!
