Health Care Directive

& Durable Power of Attorney}}

ADVANCE HEALTH CARE DIRECTIVE & DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY (DPA):

This document names someone you can count on to be your Attorney in Fact, who will make decisions concerning your HEALTH CARE for you when you are unable. This prevents a conservatorship over your person, which means the courts and lawyers will not be controlling your health care needs. Also, this document contains an Advance Directive, also known as a Living Will, which states whether or not you wish to "have the plug pulled" or "die naturally". Your family keeps control over things, under the terms of this document.This DPA can be either SPRINGING, which means it does not take effect until you are incapacitated or incompetent, or IMMEDIATE, which means your Attorney in Fact can start making health care decisions for you as soon as the document is signed.
