While Advance Health Care Directives don’t directly affect your finances, if you don’t have one, become incapacitated, and can’t express your wishes, an expensive court proceeding may be required.  And your family could be torn apart unnecessarily. 

By completing My Final Decisions™ Advance Health Care Directive, you will be able to clearly describe the type and extent of medical treatment that you prefer - and don’t prefer - so those you trust can carry out your instructions if you are unable to express them.

Unlike Living Wills that are generally invoked only in end-of-life situations, My Final Decisions™ Advance Health Care Directives allow you to set out your instructions for any time you may be unable to express your wishes.  For example, you might be unconscious, under anesthesia, have dementia, or be under heavy sedation or pain medication and be unable to state your preferences.  My Final Decisions™ allows you to plan for these events.

	Put in writing your directions about what medical treatment you want not only at end of life -- such as resuscitation, ventilators, and artificial feeding – but also when you may be unconscious or otherwise unable to state your wishes.  You will be able to state who can – and who can’t talk to your doctors and medical providers through comprehensive medical releases.
	Appoint a trusted agent to make your medical decisions on your behalf, have a procedure to replace agents who do not follow instructions, and avoid disputes over who will visit you should you be incapacitated.
	State your wishes about organ donation for transplantation; give directions about how and where you want to be buried or how you want your remains disposed of and who will be in charge; and avoid disputes about your health care if you can’t express your wishes.
	Give your spouse, family, partner, or friends guidance on how you wish to be treated; avoid disputes; and assure you will receive the medical treatment and quality of life you want and deserve.
