Even when you think family members are clear about your wishes, they may disagree. Your doctor may be hesitant to take steps that you have not pre-approved—especially when family members disagree.
By putting your preferences in writing, your treatment preferences will be clear. Talk to an estate planning lawyer about the documents you need.
- Medical power of attorney: With a medical power of attorney, you can be assured that someone of your choice has the authority to make medical decisions on your behalf.
- Directive to Physicians: This document gives specific instructions to medical caregivers about terminal issues involving life support and other matters.
- HIPAA Authorization: This document will assure your designated agent has full access to your medical records and may discuss your condition with your doctors.
- Pre-need designation of guardian: You may designate a guardian for yourself should the need arise. You can also disqualify specific persons from serving as your guardian.
