Living Will or Healthcare Directive
There may come a time when you cannot make medical decisions for yourself; that’s where a living will come in, also known as a healthcare directive. This legal document outlines your wishes for medical treatments and other important decisions, such as pain management and organ donation. It’s particularly important if you’re facing a terminal illness, experiencing declining health, or simply aging. At Roybal-Mack & Cordova, we understand that it can be challenging to confront these issues, but having an estate law attorney prepare a living will bring peace of mind and ensure your wishes are honored.
A living will should not be confused with a will or a last will. A living will does not cover the distribution of assets or beneficiaries.
The Roybal-Mack & Cordova, PC estate planning team provides the expert legal counsel you need to create Healthcare Directives, Last Wills & Testaments, and related documents that will ensure your intentions for medical care and estate distribution are carried out when you are no longer mentally or physically able to execute those wishes on your own.
