Does Everyone Need a Living Will and Health Care Proxy?
Tragically, there have been prominent cases in the news in which young, otherwise healthy people are left in a comatose state with no choice of recovery after an accident or sudden illness. A Living Will is a clear indication of your wishes under such a circumstance and a Health Care Proxy designates the person with whom you feel most comfortable to make medical decisions on your behalf. Without these documents, it may be costly and difficult for your family to carry out your wishes.
