Easing the burden of decision making
Making your wishes known can provide peace of mind and help those closest to you navigate difficult decisions about the future.
An Advance Care Directive allows you to legally document your instructions about health and care-related matters. It helps guide decisions so they reflect what matters most to you.
This process involves appointing one or more individuals to make decisions if you become unable to. Their responsibilities may include:
- Where you live
- What health care you receive
- What personal care and support services you receive
- Consent to medical and dental treatment
An Advance Care Directive can outline your preferences for future treatment and end-of-life care. It can also specify particular treatments you refuse and the circumstances in which that refusal applies.
Preparing this document gives you the time to consider your wishes, which can offer guidance to difficult choices. This can ease the burden for loved ones by helping them understand the care you want.
At Pascale Legal, we guide you through the process and help you clearly document your wishes.
