Living Will Legal Services in King of Prussia and Lebanon

Our elder law attorney can help you appoint a trusted family member, colleague, significant other, or friend as a trustee to carry out certain healthcare decisions for you in case you are incapacitated. Living wills hold all the information that you may want or not want when it comes to medical care. Doctors and loved ones in care can use these directions when you are unable to speak or are unconscious. 

Our living will law firm in Pennsylvania can help you become familiar with different medical procedures that you might come across in life. We have an expert living will attorney who can outline what you might need. 

What Do a Living Will and Power of Attorney Do?

In cases where you cannot make medical care decisions in case of advanced age, illnesses, or an accident, the lawyer can help you outline what kind of treatment you may want or don’t want. The attorney will help you appoint a power of attorney that will help by making sure the living will is followed in case you cannot see it being followed through.

Life-Prolonging Medical Care

Living wills can outline whether or not you want life-prolonging medical care in end-of-life cases like:

• Diagnostic tests 
• Blood and blood product transfusions 
• Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
• Dialysis 
• Administering drugs 
• Respirator use 
• Surgery 

The POA living will lawyer will oversee your choices in such cases. 

Food and Water

Intravenous (IV) feeding and tubes are used to provide necessary fluids and nutrients in case a patient is permanently comatose or at the end of life from serious illnesses. However, since tube feeding can be carried out indefinitely, a lot of patients may not want to live like that for years without gaining consciousness again. The living will and power of attorney can outline the best course of action in such cases. 

Palliative Care (Pain Relief)

Comfort or palliative care is needed even in cases where patients want a natural death without any life-prolonging procedures. It can help with better quality of life and offers dignity to a patient who wants to live without pain until life ends. 

DNR Orders and POLST Forms

Your living will be made in Pennsylvania by an expert, and it can also outline a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order. This means that you do not wish to receive CPR if a medical emergency occurs. The Physicians Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment forms (POLST forms) contain the DNR order along with any other instructions about life-prolonging treatments.
