Empowering Someone to Act on Your Behalf
Many people worry about what will happen at the end of their life. Because everyone is different, it is important to make sure there is someone who knows your wishes and can make health decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so.
A valid healthy care proxy enables someone else to make health care decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. The Law Office of David Lacher has over 30 years of experience helping clients throughout Manhattan and the New York metropolitan draft detailed health care proxies.

Drafting a Well-Written Health Care Proxy
If you are concerned there may be a point in your life when you are unable to communicate your health care wishes to physicians or medical providers, it is critical that your health care proxy clearly delineates your wishes.
While living wills outline specific wishes for any given circumstance, health care proxies allow individuals the flexibility to handle unexpected injuries or illnesses. A health care proxy — also called a durable power of attorney — empowers one person to make decisions in your best interest. Without it, doctors may be left guessing what medical treatment you would like.
