ADVANCED HEALTH CARE DIRECTIVE

- BY THE AMERICAN LEGAL REVIEW, THE PREMIER ONLINE RESOURCE FOR LEGAL INFORMATION AND THE EVALUATION OF LEGAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

An Advanced Healthcare Directive -- what used to be known as a Living Will --is a critical legal document. It allows you to clearly spell out to your family and trusted friends EXACTLY the steps you want them to take -- and EXACTLY the steps you DO NOT want them to take -- should you become seriously ill, seriously injured, or incapacitated.

Some Health Care Directives are better than others. In the past, Living Wills were often brief and did little more than discuss life support situations. Today, most states accept Advanced Healthcare Directives, which combine the effectiveness of a Living Will with the specificity of a Durable Healthcare Power of Attorney. Combining these documents covers nearly every situation, and allows the Principal (the person making the Living Will) to choose in advance who will make life and death healthcare decisions on his or her behalf.

Below are some Living Will and Health Care Directive products and services examined by the American Legal Review:

LEGAL ZOOM: Living Will As competent adults, we have the right to make decisions in advance as to whether or not we would like to decline life support when it is clear that death is imminent or a state of coma becomes permanent. Today, life support systems can keep an individual's body alive for years, even if the brain is no longer functioning or the person is in constant pain. A living will is a document which lets you decide whether or not to be kept on artificial life support. Often, these documents also appoint someone to make important health care decisions on your behalf in case you are unable to do so. LegalZoom can help you quickly and easily take control of your health care decisions by preparing a customized living will online. LEARN MORE ABOUT THE LEGAL ZOOM: Living Will
