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.
