An increasingly prominent issue in today's society, is people's desire to have a say in what their treatment should be in the event that an illness or accident leaves them without the capacity to make decisions about life saving treatment.

It is now possible to execute a Living Will (or ‘Advance Directive' as it is officially termed), which gives specific guidance to medical professionals treating you in one of the above scenarios. These documents have finally received legal recognition...

Aside from making a Living Will, it is also possible to include these wishes by executing a Lasting Power of Attorney. Any of the team here at Cozens-Hardy LLP would be pleased to advise you.
