Advance Directives: Living Wills & Health Care Powers of Attorney
Your voice in medical care and end of life decisions
Estate planning counsel for families in Bangor and nearby communities across Maine.
Health Care Powers of Attorney, Advance Directives, and Living Wills are the foundation for making sure your medical treatment aligns with your personal values and choices.
A complete healthcare plan includes:
- Health Care Power of Attorney: Designates a trusted family member or friend to make medical decisions if you are temporarily or permanently incapacitated.
- Living Will / Advance Directive: Outlines your specific preferences regarding end-of-life care, life support, comfort measures, and organ donation.
In a medical crisis, loved ones are often asked to make profound choices under intense emotional pressure. Having a clear, legal directive in place removes the burden of guesswork, prevents family conflict, and ensures your voice remains at the center of your care.
