Why Advanced Directives Are So Important For Your Estate Plan
Advanced health care directives, often called living wills, are the set of wishes and plans you put in place for your care in the event you become incapacitated. Suppose you do not have a living will in place, then the decisions about how long to prolong care and whether or not to donate organs fall to your loved ones. And that’s a burden they don’t have to carry.
At Griffin & Cain, Attorneys at Law, PC, we get how hard it is to think about your future in these terms. Getting older and losing your ability to make decisions is scary. We help our clients in Conroe and across the state of Texas
build their estate plans and provide their families with the guides and help they need for the future.
Determining If You Qualify
Several conditions must be met in order to apply for your expunction and even then, it is possible the application may not be successful. Success may be a partial or even complete deletion of your criminal record. Whether the application is successful depends on the crimes alleged, and the circumstances surrounding why you were not convicted of the crime.
What Makes Up A Living Will?
Advanced directives are plural for a reason, and that is a good thing because there are many scenarios that you may have complicated thoughts about regarding your health. The basic documents include:
- Do Not Resuscitate orders: These can include both in-hospital and out-of-hospital (OOH-DNR) versions, which dictate how medical personnel – EMTs, nurses and doctors – treat you.
- End-of-life care guidance: Hospice care in a facility vs. at home is a question for many people. Many estate plans also include insurance policies to mitigate extended home care costs.
- Advanced care planning: Incapacitated individuals can live for a long time while unable to make decisions, this part dictates how they’d like to be cared for.
- Medical power of attorney: For decisions not outlined in other parts of your advanced directives, your medical power of attorney can make health decisions for you.
Every medical question needs an answer before doctors and the rest of the medical team can proceed. Spending some time answering those questions now will save someone you love a lot of pain and agonize later when major decisions arise.

Great attorney. Has gone above and beyond to be upfront, clear, and most of all professional. Been a very long time I could say such nice words about an attorney.
Bob was a savior at a very traumatic time where I had to probate a family estate. There were some issues that were going to arise if it wasn't handled quickly, and he swooped in and took care of it pronto. I can't imagine having to deal with this without someone so trustworthy on your side.
I'm so thankful I had him in my corner, and I would absolutely recommend him if anyone needed assistance with probate problems or any other legal issues.
