Who can help me create a Living Will and health care proxy?
Start by talking to someone who knows you, and who can help you express your values and wishes in the context of your family and medical history. Talk to someone who can tell you about some of the alternatives to be decided. Persons to discuss these matters with you might include your physician, clergyman and family members. Your lawyer can give advice which will ensure that your documents are legally effective. If you do not have a lawyer, or if your lawyer is not familiar with all the legal requirements, you can contact the Lawyer Referral Service of your local Bar Association or the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys.
