A Healthcare Advance Directive is a written or oral statement detailing
your wishes regarding medical decisions which should be followed in the
event you are not be able to make them yourself. It can also express
your wish to make an anatomical donation after your passing.
Some individuals make an oral declaration in the presence of family
members, close friends, or to their doctor upon being diagnosed with an
illness or disease. Oral declarations present a higher probability of
disputes between family members over what should be done in specific
medical circumstances. That is why it is always advisable to use proper
estate planning documents to express your wishes, so that your choices
are clearly defined regarding any medical treatment or refusal of
medical treatment for various medical situations you may encounter.
