FAQs For Front Royal Elder Law Attorneys
Proxies / Advance Medical Directives:
What is a health care proxy?
A health care proxy or agent has the authority to make medical decisions in cases where a person is rendered incapable of making his or her own decisions.
How do I get a health care proxy?
All competent adults, ages 18 years or older can appoint a health care agent by signing a form, called a Health Care Proxy. You don’t need a lawyer or notary, just two adult witnesses.
What is a living will / advance health care directive?
A living will is an advance healthcare directive. While not actually a will, it is a document that lets people state their wishes for end-of-life medical care, in case they become unable to communicate their decisions.
This living will is a set of instructions or an expression of wishes and desires that specifies the use or non-use of medical treatments and procedures that would artificially prolong life.
