What Legal Documents Should Cancer Patients Consider?
Cancer patients may need to prepare several legal documents to protect their interests. These include:
- Advance Healthcare Directive: Specifies preferences for medical treatment in case the patient becomes unable to make decisions. - Durable Power of Attorney: Appoints someone to make financial and healthcare decisions on the patient's behalf. - Living Will: Details end-of-life care preferences. - Last Will and Testament: Outlines how the patient’s assets should be distributed after death.
