If you get into an accident or become too ill to make your healthcare wishes known, who in your life is going to advocate for you? Who do you trust to make critical decisions in an emergency? Doctors and emergency medical providers will often turn to your next of kin for information about what medical procedures will be performed on you if you’re incapacitated. This can easily lead to infighting among your electives, additional and unnecessary stress, and possibly a delay in vital treatment you need. Our Mesa, AZ living will lawyer helps you set the right protections in place, so no matter what, your values are respected. Please contact LifePlan Legal AZ today for a consultation.
Living Will Lawyer Mesa, AZ
Your living will, sometimes referred to as an Advanced Directive, contains your explicit wishes for healthcare should you be unable to make decisions for yourself. This can include whether you want feeding tubes or intubation, if you would like to be on life support (or how long you would like life support to last) and whether you have preferences for other treatments that could sustain your life.
A living will takes effect in an emergency, so instead of arguing over what they think you would prefer, your loved ones can focus on supporting you and each other. Your living will also alleviates the emotional burden your close family may face when making important, life-saving (or ending) decisions. If you have strong feelings about not being placed on life support or want a do-not-resuscitate order in place, having your preferences stated in writing, in a legal document, can give your family peace of mind, knowing that they are following your stated wishes, and not making these difficult decisions about your life and care without guidance.
Our Mesa living will lawyer drafts a comprehensive legal document that accounts for all medical eventualities so that no matter what life throws at you, your wishes are clear for your family and healthcare providers.
Why Our Experience Matters For Your Living Will
A good living will should be crafted according to Arizona estate laws so it can withstand any challenge that a worried relative might pose. It must also be properly drafted to ensure that any healthcare provider will accept it; not all DIY living wills may be accepted by a care provider. You don’t want your family to face an unpleasant surprise in an emergency only to realize that your document does not meet Arizona legal standards.
