There are many ways to provide for medical care and medical decision-making as you age. As an example, you can have an estate attorney prepare health care advance directives such as living wills, durable powers of attorney, and durable medical powers of attorney. These documents are relatively easy to prepare and can save you a lot of headaches if/when you are unable to make your own health care decisions. With these documents, you can designate one or more persons to make decisions about your medical treatment, if you become unable to do so yourself.
