Health Care Proxy
Learn how a health care proxy can ensure your medical wishes are honored, safeguarding your estate and peace of mind.
How does a health care proxy impact my estate planning?
A health care proxy is a critical component of your estate plan as it designates someone to make medical decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so yourself. By clearly outlining your health care preferences, a proxy ensures that your medical and end-of-life wishes are respected, which can prevent disputes among family members. It is often used in conjunction with a living will to provide a comprehensive plan for unforeseen health emergencies. This document is especially important for ensuring that your estate executor or any other decision-makers know your intentions, thereby preserving your legacy and aiding in the coordination of your overall estate plan.
