Why do I need a Healthcare Proxy?

The Terry Schiavo case demonstrates that the failure to execute a health care proxy, and living will, can break families apart, cause long-lasting feuds, cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, involve legal wrangles that last for years and mean quite literally the difference between life and death.

A Health Care Proxy allows you to appoint someone you trust to make health care decisions for you if you lose the ability to make decisions yourself. The agent does not have authority until such time as you are unable to make decisions.

In appointing a health care agent, you can make sure that health care providers follow your wishes with respect to treatment. You may give the person you select as your health care agent as little or as much authority as you want. You may allow your agent to make all health care decisions or only certain ones. You may also require your agent to follow the terms set forth in your living will with respect to the extent of treatment.
