Healthcare Power of Attorney in Benton
Ensuring Your Wishes Regarding Medical Treatment Are Followed
The future is full of uncertainty and, no matter how young or healthy you may be, anything can happen. If you become incapacitated and cannot make decisions regarding medical care and treatment for yourself, you could find yourself in an unfortunate situation. However, if you have a healthcare power of attorney, you can designate someone to make the decisions you would have made for yourself. At Levanti Law, LLC in Benton, our experienced legal team can assist you in creating this important legal document, so you can achieve some peace of mind.
Reach out to our law office today at (618) 717-4409 to schedule a consultation with one of our attorneys to get started!
How Does it Work?
If you were to become too ill to express your wishes regarding medical treatment, your healthcare power of attorney will activate and the person you assigned to this role will make healthcare decisions for you. For example, if you did not want life-saving measures to be taken if you cannot breathe on your own, your healthcare power of attorney can ensure this directive is enforced.
Having a healthcare power of attorney in place not only ensures that your wishes are respected, but also lifts a heavy burden off your loved ones who would otherwise have to guess how you would want to be treated. Ultimately, the more your loved ones know what your healthcare preferences are, the easier this overwhelming situation will be.
Choosing a Healthcare Power of Attorney
Needless to say, it is essential that you trust the person you assign to this role. You will be sharing a lot of intimate information with your healthcare power of attorney, so it is important that you choose someone with whom you feel comfortable. That said, even the best relationships can sometimes change, so if you feel differently about the person you chose, you are free to change your mind. To reverse your decision, you will need to eradicate the original document and create a new one.

So easy to get an appointment! William was very knowledgeable. I had no clue as to the kind of help I needed. He was so helpful and made it so easy. Recommend?? I'm 46 years old and had no idea how helpful he could be because I've never been in this situation. Highly recommend this firm. Thanks so much for your help!April L.
