Massachusetts Lawyer Assisting With Advanced Medical Directives

An advanced medical directive is a written document of instructions regarding your future medical care. An advanced directive takes effect when an individual is incapacitated. Incapacity refers to when an individual is unable to make mentally sound decisions.

Advanced medical directives can take the form of a living will or a health care proxy. A health care proxy is a legal instrument that allows for an individual to designate another person to make his or her health care decisions.

A health care proxy is essential because it dictates how you wish to carry out your medical care and treatment toward the end of your life. It is crucial that the person you designate as your health care agent is someone you trust to follow your written instructions. The health care agent is the person who will enforce your wishes expressed in the directive.
