Advance directives are documents which give
someone else the ability to make decisions for you
if you are alive but unable to make decisions for
yourself. Many people don't realize that their
spouse or adult children don't automatically have
this right. These documents are for everyone from
age 18 to age 108! Examples of these are:
Durable Power of Attorney - for legal and
financial decisions
Designation of Healthcare Surrogate - for
medical decisions
Living Will - to let your loved ones know if you
want to be kept on life support
And more!
