Save Your Loved Ones From Tough Decisions

Advance health care directives, sometimes referred to as “living wills,” are used to specify a person’s final wishes regarding the extraordinary medical treatment that should be provided in the event of a life-threatening illness or injury. By writing a clearly stated advance health care directive, you remove the emotional turmoil your loved ones could face when making decisions about your medical care if you are incapacitated and cannot speak for yourself.

The Mullin Law Firm in Concord and Walnut Creek, California, has more than 45 years of experience helping people with their estate planning and probate needs regarding end-of-life issues. We offer a consultation to discuss the limits of legal powers you grant a designated loved one to handle your affairs.

What Is The Difference Between An Advance Health Care Directive And A Durable Power Of Attorney?

An advance health care directive is written specifically to inform your loved ones and physicians about your wishes regarding the limits of extraordinary measures taken to prolong your life. In an advance health care directive, you can specify the exact terms and conditions under which you wish medical treatment to stop or continue. You can also designate the individual you want to put in control of making the final decision regarding when to end medical care, based on the interpretation of your directive.
