ONLINE ADVANCE DIRECTIVES

LIVING WILL AND HEALTH CARE POWER OF ATTORNEY 

 

Every adult should have a Living Will, a Health Care Power of Attorney, and if desired, a signed organ donor consent form. Together these are known as “Advance Directives.”  Advance Directives are the best way to ensure that decisions about your health and well-being are made by someone you choose and in a manner consistent with your wishes. On this page you can complete an online questionnaire and we will prepare these documents for you. Go to online questionnaire.            Click here if you have questions about Advance Directives.

            

 

As part of our service we will:  

 

1. Prepare a living will, health care power of attorney and the optional organ donor consent form;

2. Meet with you before you sign the Advance Directives and answer questions you may have about the   documents you are signing;

3. Send copies of your Advance Directives to your doctor and to your health care agent;

4. If you desire, prepare an organ donor form and submit it to the State of Ohio Donor  Registry; 

5. Give you a “wallet card”.  In case of an emergency the wallet card will ensure medical personnel know you  have prepared Advance Directives and that they can be obtained from our office* 

This service is $20.00 if provided in conjunction with other estate planning services. Otherwise the charge is $35.00 ($50 for a couple). 

 

*We  maintain a copy of your Advance Directives for at least 7 years.
