All of us face the possibility of health decline to incapacity in later life. That is when decisions about our health care may need to be made by a trusted family member or friend.
On this Life Happens show, elder law attorneys Lou Pierro and Peter Strauss explain the steps you can take now to make sure your health care wishes are carried out.
Get answers to these and other questions:
- Will your representative – called the health care agent – have the legal authority to speak for you?
- How will your agent know what your wishes are? How do you make sure your wishes, as expressed by your agent, will be honored by your physicians?
- If there are disagreements among your family regarding medical decisions, how will they be resolved?
- Does the law allow you to refuse medical treatment that may be life sustaining?
