Your medical wishes, honored. Your family, spared the hardest decisions.
A healthcare proxy names someone you trust — usually your spouse or an adult child — to make medical decisions if you're unable to communicate your wishes. In Massachusetts, your healthcare proxy has legal authority to consent to or refuse treatment, request information, access your medical records, and make decisions about end-of-life care.
A living will (also called an advance directive) documents your own wishes about life-sustaining treatment, resuscitation (CPR), and organ donation. It puts your values on paper so your family and doctors know what you want, even if you can't say it yourself.
Together, these documents give your family a roadmap and give your healthcare proxy the legal authority they need to carry out your wishes. Neither one works as well without the other — and neither one should sit in a drawer. Your family and your doctors need to know these documents exist.
Medical emergencies don't wait. Even a young, healthy person needs these documents in place.
Chronic illness, upcoming surgery, or family history of illness make healthcare planning especially important.
If your adult child is in a medical crisis, you can't automatically make decisions without their proxy in place.
Religious beliefs, ethical values, or firm wishes about end-of-life care deserve to be documented.
