Advance Decision
If the Lasting Power of Attorney is the vehicle, then the Advanced Decision is the directions or sat nav for your Attorneys. An advance healthcare directive, also known as a living will, personal directive, advance directive or advance decision, is a legal document in which a person specifies what actions should be taken for their health if they are no longer able to make decisions for themselves because of illness or incapacity. At Will Power Worthing, we strongly advise that people implement these alongside their LPA's, to ensure that their attorneys know exactly how to implement the Power given to them through the LPA, which will avoid any uncertainty or guilt relating to potentially difficult decisions they may be required to make on your behalf. Your adviser will go through these documents in detail at your meeting.
