Living Wills
Recently, living wills have been a headline topic in the news.  Also called a “durable power of attorney,” a living will is created to give you a voice in the event of your incapacitation.  In the document, a person is appointed by you to make a decision whether or not extraordinary lifesaving measures should be taken or if you should be allowed to die with dignity.  This document can also prevent dissent and heartache experienced by grieving, arguing family members.

Health Care Directives
Similar to a living will, a health care directive is a written statement about how you would like your medical care to be approached in the event that you cannot speak for yourself.  This can include right to die directions, but usually contains specific directions pertaining to specific medical conditions.

Power of Attorney
Your appointment of someone to act on your behalf, and in some cases as you, in the event of your incapacitation or death is called giving someone the “power of attorney.”  This can also prevent arguments and ensure the security of your estate.
