Health Care Proxy Attorney, Massachusetts

A health care proxy (also known as an advance health care directive) affords you the choice of a trusted loved one as the agent to communicate your wishes regarding medical decisions on your behalf in the event you become incapacitated and unable to make (or communicate) such decisions yourself. 

Together with a living will, where you can give your doctors and family a specific statement regarding your health care decisions and specifically instruct regarding a decision to terminate life-support treatment or relay a do-not-resuscitate order, your health care proxy documents will ensure your medical decisions are carried out even in the event you are unable to communicate them.

Your will, durable power of attorney and health care proxy form the “basic” necessities of your estate plan. Contact Moody & Knoth, P.C. today to schedule a consultation.
