What Is a Health Care Proxy?
A Health Care Proxy is a document that allows you to designate a person to make healthcare decisions on your behalf in the event that you are unable to make them on your own. These decisions revolve specifically around the management of your health care in order to keep you healthy. They can also involve the termination of life support.
What Is a Living Will?
A living will is a written statement that expresses your desires with regard to health care treatment if you become mentally incapable and/or physically incapable of expressing those desires. It can include, but need not be limited to, instructions concerning the termination of life support.
What Is a DNR Order?
Do-not-resuscitate (DNR) means that a patient in cardiac or respiratory arrest must not receive chest compressions, ventilation, defibrillation, medication, or CPR. Physicians are legally bound to administer CPR or other measures unless a signed DNR is present.
What Is a Designation of Guardian in Advance of Need?
A designation of guardian in advance of need is an important step in estate planning that allows you to designate your preferred guardian in advance. You can choose to designate a guardian for yourself or for your child.
