Advanced Directives and Durable Power of Attorney

Make your care wishes known in case you can no longer speak for yourself. Share legal documents with your support person and make them part of your medical record. Laws in each state may be different. These documents are valid in Louisiana.  

An advance directive helps your loved ones know about the medical care you prefer so your wishes can be met.

A living will explains the type of care that prolongs life and gives you options to accept or reject. A licensed Louisiana attorney can help you with this. 

The durable power of attorney appoints a person to make medical decisions for you if you can’t do so.
