Charlotte Wills Attorney Brings Focus to National Healthcare Decisions Day – April 16th

(LegalLaw247.com, April 12, 2012 ) Charlotte, NC - National Healthcare Decisions Day is on April 16th, and it is an important reminder for every adult to share their private wishes about medical treatment and possible end-of-life care with family.

Far too many people assume that their families would make the choices they themselves would want in an emergency. Yet every day we hear stories of adult children, siblings, or other relatives battling during a health care crisis over what their loved one would have wanted in that situation.

"Many of us do not think about these issues. Maybe because we saw death happening at an older age or simply, no one told us we had choices. But it is not enough to just tell someone about your wishes." Warns Charlotte wills & trusts attorney Sabrina Winters. You need to clearly document your preferences in writing, as well. Keep in mind that emotions can run high during a health care crisis. It may be very difficult for your loved ones to make a decision that could ultimately end your life. Having your wishes spelled out in writing helps make these types of decisions easier for them, especially in cases when other family members dont agree. So, in honor of National Health Care Decisions Day, I encourage you to start tough conversations with loved ones about your personal medical preferences for medical or long-term care.
