In a contribution to Boomer-Living.com, Gary Altman, highlights examples such as recent celebrity deaths as a way of underscoring the importance of having an Advanced Health Care Directive.
Altman explains, “Simply put, Advanced Health Care Directives are instructions given by individuals specifying what actions should be taken for their health in the event that they are no longer able to make decisions due to illness or incapacity.”
Altman goes further, explaining the various components of an Advanced Health Care Directive, including a “Living Will” and “Health Care Proxy” – both of which he recommends for his clients to have in place.
