• Advance Directive Frequently Asked Questions: What Is An Advance Directive? An Advance Directive allows you to make your health care choices known in advance of an incapacitating illness. It is a legal document in which you state how you want to be treated in the event you become very ill and there is no reasonable hope for your recovery. Although laws vary from state to state in America, there are basically two kinds of directives: 1. Living Will is a legal document in which you state the kind of health care you want or don't want under certain circumstances. 2. Health Care Proxy (or Durable Health Care Power of Attorney) is a legal document in which you name someone close to you to make decisions about your health care in the event you become incapacitated.

• Advance Directives for Lesbian & Gay couples: Planning Ahead For Your Health Care In the absence of a Living Will or other legal arrangement, if you become disabled, your partner generally has no say regarding medical care or life support. Your partner cannot access your assets. Your partner cannot receive information on your medical status or medical care. Advance directives are very personal documents and you should feel free to develop one which best suits your own needs. All States have declared that competent adults have the fundamental right, in collaboration with their health care providers, to control decisions about their own health care. States recognize in their law and public policy the personal right of the individual patient to make voluntary, informed choices to accept, to reject or to choose among alternative courses of medical and surgical treatment. If you have a Living Will, you can designate your partner as a decision maker
