People have a
fundamental right to make their
own decisions regarding their
health care. Who will make these
critical decisions if you become
disabled? You can plan now to
protect yourself and your family
from this possibility.
- Michigan
law provides for health care
decision making through
appointment of a health care
advocate.
- While
Michigan does not employ
living wills, the document
appointing your health care
advocate may include your
personal preferences for
health care.
- Health
care choices, including
end-of-life decisions, are
intensely personal. We can
help you draft your health
care advocate appointment to
reflect your thinking,
guided by your values and
the values of those you
respect.
- We also
suggest you have a durable
power of attorney for
financial matters which will
allow a trusted family
member or friend to manage
your financial affairs
during a short or long-term
disability.
- If you
have moved to Michigan, you
should revise your will,
durable power, and health
care appointment.
We can help
you draft advance directives,
including appointment of a
health care advocate. |
