Advance directives
You should consider creating a written document stating your wishes regarding medical care if you lose the ability to make decisions for yourself. An Advance Directive ensures your right to accept or refuse medical care.
Federal and state law govern the use of an Advance Directive so it is a good idea to have a competent lawyer draft, or at least review, a document you wish to put in place and to be sure it is written so that it can be clearly understood and followed. While there is no requirement for this document, it can be important to your situation. The document can be revoked or changed at any time.
