Living Will decisions aren't a fun topic, but one that is so important and we never know when we are going to need to share our thoughts on the subject so our significant others can make decisions for us. SCENARIO: You are 100 years old and have had Alzheimer's Disease for 20 years. What does your living will tell your decision maker to do when you are in the hospital for an urinary tract infection? SCENARIO: You are 70 years old and just diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. What does your living will tell your decision maker to do when you are in the hospital due to a car accident? SCENARIO: You are 60 years old and the doctor told you family that you would probably die in a few days. That was 2 years ago and you've been living in a nursing home. What does your living will tell your decision maker you want done while you are in a long term care facility? These medical situations may have different responses and a person's living will may have been designed to not take various medical situations into consideration. I've designed a seminar to assist people in making these types of decisions so that they can share them with their estate planners and/or attorneys. I've also designed a DVD for people to review and complete a worksheet to share with their estate planners and/or attorneys. Contact me by email with "Living Will Decisions" in the subject line (talkndr@yahoo.com) or phone (815-541-1857) if you would like to have a presentation to a group or for more information regarding the DVD.
