LGBTQIA2+ Advance Directives Workshop
Lyons Gardens , 2720 Lyons Rd, Austin, TX, USFREE ADVANCE DIRECTIVES WORKSHOP
For Austin Area LGBTQIA2+ People Ages 18-110Your Workshop Leader: Elizabeth Brenner, Attorney at Law
If you are 18+ and LGBTQIA2+ and haven't taken care of your Advance Directives or you have but have questions THIS event IS FOR YOU!
A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK.. they're too young, it's too morbid to think about, I'll do it later. Why not come and take advantage of being able to ask a lawyer for free any questions you may have about these documents!
Take notes ~ get the forms ~ do as little or as much as you'd like but start.What are Advance Directives?
Advance directives are legal documents that provide instructions for medical care and only go into effect if you cannot communicate your own wishes.
The two most common advance directives for health care are the living will and the durable power of attorney for health care.- Living will: A living will is a legal document that tells doctors how you want to be treated if you cannot make your own decisions about emergency treatment. In a living will, you can say which common medical treatments or care you would want, which ones you would want to avoid, and under which conditions each of your choices applies. Learn more about preparing a living will.
- Durable power of attorney for health care: A durable power of attorney for health care is a legal document that names your health care proxy, a person who can make health care decisions for you if you are unable to communicate these yourself. Your proxy, also known as a representative, surrogate, or agent, should be familiar with your values and wishes. A proxy can be chosen in addition to or instead of a living will. Having a health care proxy helps you plan for situations that cannot be foreseen, such as a serious car accident or stroke. Learn more about choosing a health care proxy.
Think of your advance directives as living documents that you review at least once each year and update if a major life event occurs such as retirement, moving out of state, or a significant change in your health.
