What is an Advance Health Care Directive aka AHCD?

November 14th, 2007 by LawGuru Admin

An Advance Health Care Directive is a set of documents consisting of a Power of Attorney for Health Care and a Living Will, that allows you to make decisions about future health care issues, by allowing you to give health care instructions, select a health care agent  or do both. By using an Advance Directive, you can also make decisions about life-sustaining procedures in the event of persistent vegetative state, terminal condition,  or end-stage conditions. You can also use the advance directive to make any other health care decisions.

    I’ve been handling my wife’s medical business without a power of attorney thus far. Perhaps I should get one now. Thanks for the info.
