Living Wills and Medical Powers of Attorney
Chicago Estate Planning Attorney
People have become increasingly aware of the need to communicate with family members and medical providers their wishes about medical and end-of-life care.
While these decisions are difficult and must be made by families at a very stressful time, your thoughtfulness in providing guidance can be of great help.
At Madison Group, LLP in Chicago, Illinois, we help clients think through these important issues and prepare legally binding documents to guide medical decision making. Let us help you with a living will or durable medical proxy. Contact our Chicago estate planning law office.
Providing Guidance during a Medical Crisis
Two of the tools of an estate planner will help you communicate your wishes regarding medical care and life support measures:
- A living will (also called an advanced health care directive) can specify your wish to accept or refuse resuscitation, life support, or other types of medical or non-medical care.
- A medical proxy (also called a medical power of attorney) will designate a person to make medical decisions on your behalf.
Helping Families with Sensitive Legal Matters
It's never easy to talk about end-of-life issues or the prospect of a traumatic medical crisis. The estate planning lawyers at Madison Group, LLP, provide caring, sensitive support and practical assistance to ensure your wishes are followed.
