As seen in the Terri
Schavo case a living will is the one of
most responsible things you can do for your family besides a full
will with instructions upon your death. But a form will you find on
the internet may not be enough to legally issue your wishes. A "durable
power of attorney for health care" is an added benefit
to a living will. Don't take the chance with something that can
emotionally and financially destroy the family you leave behind.
You must hire an attorney and be
specific in your wishes and instructions with a
Pre-Paid Legal membership you can have these things
and much more for less then a cup of coffee a day.
Can you believe that 70% of
the american people could be in Terry Schiavo 's position if they
were to be incapacitated today?
Only 3 out of 10 americans have
a legal will. Even fewer have a living will and less then that a durable
power of attorney for health to appoint someone to make decisions
for them when they can no longer make their own decisions.
Who in their right minds would
put their family through what Mary and Bob Schindler are going through?
No matter what side you fall on in this debate it all could have been
avoided with the proper legal planning.
