Healthcare Documents: Plan for Medical Decisions Before You Need To
An accident or illness can leave anyone unable to speak for themselves. Without the right documents, your family may not be able to get information from your doctors or make decisions on your behalf. Legal Hero prepares the three healthcare documents every adult should have.
The Three Core Healthcare Documents
| Document | What it does |
|---|---|
| Health Care Power of Attorney | Names an agent to make medical decisions if you can’t. |
| Living Will | States your wishes about life-prolonging treatment at the end of life. |
| HIPAA Release | Lets the people you choose receive your medical information. |
Why They Work Best Together
Your health care agent needs your medical information to make good decisions, and your living will guides those decisions. We draft all three to work as a set, so there are no gaps or conflicts between them.
Who Needs Healthcare Documents?
Every adult 18 and older. Once a child turns 18, parents no longer have automatic authority to make medical decisions or access records for them.
