What Are Advance Healthcare Directives?

Advance healthcare directives are legal documents detailing a person’s medical treatment preferences in the event that they become incapacitated or unable to communicate their desires. These directives can feature numerous instructions, such as whether to receive life-sustaining treatments or medications.

Advance healthcare directives are not just for older adults or those with severe medical conditions. Unexpected accidents or illnesses can happen at any age, making these documents advantageous.

Types of Advanced Healthcare Directives

Our Queens advanced healthcare lawyers can help you establish the following directives:

Living Will

A living will outlines the type of medical treatment you would like to receive if you are in a terminal condition and unable to express your wishes. It can include instructions for whether to put you on life support or administer certain medications. It can also offer information about allergies, organ donation preferences, and how to cover medical expenses.

Healthcare Proxy

You can legally appoint a healthcare proxy to make medical decisions on your behalf. This designation can be permanent or temporary.

Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Order

A DNR order instructs medical professionals not to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to revive you.

Powers of Attorney

In addition to healthcare decisions, you can designate powers of attorney to someone to handle finances and other important matters if you cannot do so.
