HEALTH CARE DIRECTIVE
New Jersey (NJ) Health Care Directive Lawyers
A health care directive is a written document that enables you to designate another person to make health-care decisions for you in the event that you are incapacitated and cannot make them for yourself. This individual can make decisions involving everything from managing your healthcare to termination of life support. In the event you do not want to designate someone to as your health care agent, then you should consider creating a living will instead. While a living will spells out the specific treatments you do and do not want, it does not address unforeseen events. It is for this reason that you should have a health care directive because if something arises that is not addressed in your living will; the designated person can make the necessary decisions for you.
