If you had a car accident or a medical emergency and were unable to talk, who would make medical decisions for you? Does this person know what types of life support or end-of-life care you want? Have you memorialized your decisions in writing? Does your family know where to find these documents? And does your physician know of your wishes?

Most families will at some time need to make medical decisions concerning the continuing care of an incapacitated family member. Documenting your medical, legal and spiritual decisions is an essential part of your estate planning.
