An Advanced Care Directive, also known as a Living Will, is a very important document that you should draft with a trust and estates attorney, along with a Will and Durable Power of Attorney. The Living Will states your treatment preferences so that your family and your doctors can make the care decisions that you would make yourself if you were able. A Georgia Advanced Care Directive lawyer can also help you draft a document that addresses issues such as organ donation and the final disposition of your body.
While these are not pleasant issues to contemplate, it is important to plan ahead with a lawyer so that your wishes will be clear. Moreover, it can make a difficult time for your family a little bit less difficult – knowing what their loved one wanted means one less decision that they have to make.
