Living Wills
Living Wills - This week we spoke with Dave Zumpano about Living Wills and Health Care Proxy. A Living Will is a document that expresses someone's wishes in the event that they are not able to express them. This would include end of life decisions such as resuscitation, the insertion of a feeding tube, or whether or not they wish to be kept on life support.
A health care proxy is a document that authorizes another individual to make those decisions for you. Most people have a health care proxy. The majority of these documents simply state who can make these kinds of decisions on behalf on the individual, but they do not give instructions as to what the individual wants, which can make the process of determining what to do, very hard on the relative charged with this duty.
