What is a living will, or advance decision?
If a situation arose in which you were unable to speak or make your own judgements, an earlier decision would become important.
You are free to decline medical care, even if doing so would result in your death. An prior choice is legally binding, so the people who are taking care of you must abide by it. Yet, it won't be applied unless you become incapable of making or communicating decisions regarding your care.
What should I consider before making an advanced decision?
You should discuss your decision in advance with a medical expert who is familiar with your medical history and the advantages and disadvantages of foregoing particular therapies. To ensure that your loved ones understand your preferences, you might also want to talk about it with them.
A decision to forgo therapy in advance:
How do I make an advanced decision?
Unless you are rejecting potentially life-saving treatment, an advance decision does not need to be in writing. Therefore, it is advisable to put it in writing and distribute copies to all of your family members and carers. Your advance decision must be disclosed to your doctor and medical staff in order for them to record it in your medical records. You should examine it frequently, and you are always free to make changes. Make sure to explicitly convey and document these modifications, and don't forget to date and sign the document.
Your choice to deny potentially life-sustaining treatment must be made in writing, be signed in the presence of witnesses, and include the phrase "even if life is put in danger as a result."
The regulations governing how a durable power of solicitor for health and care and an advance decision interact can be intricate. It's advisable to acquire legal advice about setting up an advance decision.
What is an advanced statement?
An advance statement of wishes outlines your preferences and everything else that is necessary for you to feel at ease. All parties involved in your care should think about making an advance statement. It is not legally binding, in contrast to a decision made in advance.
You might want to mention details about:
You can write down your advance statement whatsoever suits you best. To ensure that everyone engaged in your care is aware of your wishes, it's crucial to provide a copy of your advance directive with everybody, especially your care staff, Doctor, and medical team.
