Nassau County Living Will Attorneys
A living will is perhaps the most well known of the advance directives. It expresses your precise wishes when you're unable to speak for yourself during an illness. You can stipulate whether or not you want to be resuscitated or put on life support in any circumstance.
Three types of advance directives to be included in every estate plan:
- Living will
- Health care proxy — Designates who is to act as your representative in your health care decisions in case you are unable to do so yourself, as well as relevant language for hospitals and your doctor. It also defines all other health care intentions beyond resuscitation and life support.
- Durable power of attorney — Stipulates who will serve as your agent to perform banking, real estate, gifting or a variety of other transactions in case you are unable or unavailable to do so yourself.
We can advise you on the most appropriate and beneficial choices for your unique situation. Your decisions will be properly integrated within your comprehensive and well-developed estate plan.
