Brooklyn Wills Attorney Yana Feldman Explains How a Living Will Works
Jan 19, 2023
January 19, 2023 - /PressAdvantage/ - Brooklyn wills attorney Yana Feldman (https://yanafeldmanlaw.com/what-is-a-living-will-and-how-does-it-work/) releases a new article explaining how a living will work in New York. The lawyer mentions that having a last will and testament allows a person to designate how their assets will be distributed at the event of their death. A living will is put in place before death and has no bearing on what happens after death.
The Brooklyn wills attorney says, “A living will allows you to determine what steps will be taken to care for you if an illness or injury causes you to be in a vegetative or otherwise incapacitated state. While this is something most people don’t think about daily, it is essential to have a living will in place in case the unthinkable happens.”
A living will is a legal document that allows individuals to express their preferences for end-of-life medical treatment and to appoint a trusted person to make medical decisions on their behalf if they are unable to do so. It allows individuals to make their wishes known, even if they are unable to communicate them. Living wills can be especially important for individuals who have a terminal illness or a condition that could leave them incapacitated.
The lawyer mentions that the measures and protocols that a person wishes for doctors and other medical professionals to take are stated in a living will. This includes situations where the person is not able to make decisions for themselves and any instances where a person receives traumatic brain damage.
With today’s advancements in technology, the body can be kept alive for a virtually indefinite amount of time, even if the brain is no longer supporting its function — a living will states a person’s wishes concerning what measures doctors should take in an attempt to keep them alive.
In the article, the lawyer says, “A living will is unlike other types of wills and will allow you to have the final say in how you live out the rest of your life. It puts you in control of a dire situation before it happens. You will be able to live and die on your terms.”
Lastly, the lawyer mentions that it is important to seek the help of an experienced estate planning lawyer when dealing with matters such as living wills. A skilled lawyer may be able to help a person plan their legacy and their future.
