We Help with Health Care Directives
May 11, 2024 – Matthew S. Akers & Douglas McCarthy
Another important reason to meet with an estate planning lawyer is to establish health care directives. This is a legal document that states your wishes regarding your healthcare in the event you are rendered unconscious or otherwise unable to state your wishes to family and medical providers alike. At McCarthy & Akers, we can help you draft a health care directive that will help your family and medical providers make important decisions regarding your personal care if you are unable to do so.
