If one of your older loved ones was ill, would you know his or her treatment preferences? Do any of your relatives believe in organ donation? Does your family know your wishes if you were ever unable to advocate for yourself legally or medically? These important questions are literally about life and death. The best ways to make sure that your wishes (and your loved ones’ wishes) are followed are through heart-to-heart conversations and having the appropriate legal documents in order.
Following this seminar, participants will be better able to:
• Understand the legal tools available
• Discuss these legal matters with their loved ones
• Access information on relevant local and state laws
