Many people are concerned that they will not be able to control decisions about their health care if, as a result of injury or illness, they are unable to communicate with their health care providers. Advance Directives, such as Living Wills and Durable Powers of Attorney for Health Care, are legally enforceable documents through which an individual can control health care decisions that may arise in such circumstances. In a Living Will you can specify your choices regarding the use of life-sustaining medical treatment in circumstances where you may be suffering from an incurable injury, disease or illness, a terminal condition, or if you are in a persistent vegetative state. In a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care you can appoint a person to make health care decisions for you if you are not able to make the decisions for yourself. A Living Will and Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care may be prepared at any time.
