Advance Directive Clause Samples
An Advance Directive is a legal document that allows an individual to specify their preferences for medical treatment in situations where they may become unable to communicate or make decisions for themselves. Typically, it outlines instructions regarding life-sustaining measures, resuscitation, or the use of feeding tubes, and may designate a healthcare proxy to make decisions on the person's behalf. The core function of this clause is to ensure that a person's healthcare wishes are respected and followed, thereby providing clarity and guidance to medical professionals and loved ones during critical times.
