What is an advance healthcare directive?
Advance healthcare directives are written instructions that outline your medical care preferences if you’re unable to communicate or make decisions for yourself. Law for Living’s healthcare directive includes both a living will and a medical power of attorney. A living will guides the choices of medical professionals and caregivers if you’re in a coma or during end-of-life care. A medical power of attorney lets you appoint someone to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you’re unable.
Start nowWhy do I need an advance healthcare directive?
Living wills and medical powers of attorney aren’t just for older adults. Unexpected end-of-life situations can happen at any age. Every adult benefits from advance care planning, which gives loved ones peace of mind and makes sure your wishes are understood.
Speak when you can’t
Choose the medical treatment you want to receive even if you can’t speak for yourself.
Provide peace of mind
Ease unnecessary stress for your loved ones, and help avoid disputes over your medical treatment.
Appoint a representative
Select someone you trust as your medical power of attorney so they can convey your preferences.
Save on medical costs
Avoid costly treatments you don’t want and haven’t agreed to in advance.
What can I include in my advance healthcare directive?
Before you start your living will and medical power of attorney, consider:
- What end-of-life medical treatments you would and wouldn’t want
- Who you want to make medical decisions on your behalf if you’re unable
- Your preferences around comfort care, organ donation, and decisions after death
What are the main components of an advance healthcare directive?
Living will
Outlines your medical care preferences if you’re unable to communicate or make decisions for yourself. Guides the choices of medical professionals and caregivers if you’re in a coma or during end-of-life care.
Healthcare power of attorney
Specifies a healthcare proxy, also known as a healthcare agent, who can make medical decisions on your behalf if you’re unable.
Benefits of an advance healthcare directive

- Receive the healthcare you want even if you become unconscious or incapacitated
- Appoint someone you trust to carry out your wishes, improving your peace of mind
- Reduce confusion or disagreement about decisions made on your behalf at the end of life
