Information on Advance Directives
Advance Directive is a general term that applies to two types of legal documents: Living Wills and Medical Powers of Attorney.
These documents let you give instructions about the medical care you want to receive in the event that you become unable to speak for yourself due to serious illness or incapacity.
A living will provides specific instructions. A medical power of attorney names a person that you trust to make decisions on your behalf.
The Geriatric Services Department provides information about Advance Directives to those 65 and older.
