A healthcare directive is one of those documents that can sit in a drawer for years. Then, in a single afternoon, it can become the most important piece of paper your family has. When an illness or accident leaves you unable to speak for yourself, doctors still need answers. Who makes decisions for you? Which treatments would you want, and which would you decline? Without a directive, those questions often fall to loved ones who may be guessing at your wishes or disagreeing with one another, all while they're worried sick about you. We know these aren't easy things to think about. A healthcare directive won't make a hard day any lighter for your family, but it can spare them from guessing what you would have wanted. If you'd like to talk through how a healthcare directive fits into your broader financial picture, we'd be glad to sit down with you and listen. We might want to have an attorney assist in preparing or updating the directive itself. |
