Brooklyn wills attorney Yana Feldman (https://yanafeldmanlaw.com/what-is-a-living-will-and-how-does-it-work/) of New York Legacy Lawyers has recently published an enlightening new article titled 'What Is a Living Will and How Does It Work?'. The piece dives deep into the concept of living wills, their importance, and the various elements associated with them.
In the first few lines of the article, Feldman, a prominent Brooklyn wills attorney, underscores the significance of wills as instruments that ensure the fulfillment of wishes after one’s passing. Beyond mere asset transfer, a will, including a living will, can serve additional advantages that many individuals might not be aware of.
The Brooklyn wills attorney further clarifies the concept of a living will. She explains that a living will is a document that allows individuals to determine their healthcare decisions in the event of an incapacitating illness or injury. "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," Feldman explains.
The article goes on to describe life-prolonging treatments, advanced directives for doctors, long-term palliative care, and the option for a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order, all of which can be stipulated in a living will. Feldman emphasizes the role of a living will in relieving loved ones from making difficult decisions during stressful times.
In her own words, "A living will also help loved ones avoid having to make difficult decisions during a stressful and emotional time. Before drafting and signing a living will, it is important to do some research."
Furthermore, the Brooklyn wills attorney distinguishes between a living will and a standard will, clarifying that while a living will addresses healthcare choices during incapacitation, a standard will outlines the distribution of assets and property after one's passing.
Feldman reiterates that a living will allows individuals to maintain control over their life situation, even in challenging circumstances. "A living will distinguishes itself from other types of wills and grants individuals the final say in determining the course of their remaining life. This document empowers a person in charge of a critical situation before it arises. The individual gains the ability to live and pass away on their own terms," she asserts.
Feldman's article offers readers a comprehensive understanding of living wills, making it an essential resource for those considering their future healthcare decisions. Readers are encouraged to reach out to New York Legacy Lawyers for further assistance or advice on creating a living will.
