Greetings! 
 

National Healthcare Decisions Day is just around the corner.  It's a day recognized for its importance for advance care planning. Perhaps you recollect a particular case in point, Terry Schiavo.

Executing a particular suite of legal documents called Advance Directives is imperative. These documents ensure that the individual(s) YOU have designated to act on your best interests can do, and the medical measures that YOU want to take . . . or not . . . are respected. Assigning someone to act with your Power via a Durable Power of Attorney, choosing a Healthcare Surrogate and executing a Living Will are three of the most important decisions you will ever make.

But End of Life Planning is so much more than preparation of documents.

End of life planning poses moral and ethical issues, especially for the family with a loved one with Alzheimer's or other memory disorder.

You may come across this issue more often than you would like.

This is why our firm is hosting this event for the fourth year running.
