In a recent interview, Fred Haiman, partner at Haiman Hogue, PLLC in Frisco, TX, warned about the dangers of not having healthcare directives for aging parents.

When asked for a comment, Haiman said, “As you grow older, it’s important to not only consider what will happen to your assets after you pass away but also what will happen if you’re still alive but no longer able to make decisions by yourself. Here are some important documents to prepare once you or your loved ones are unable to make healthcare decisions.”
A living will, also called an Advanced Directive, can make explicit certain end-of-life decisions, which can significantly lift a loved one's burden to make that call.
“Issues that are often found in a living will include whether or not someone receives intervention such as CPR or being hooked up to a ventilator to stay alive. Only after someone’s primary physician signs off that they are unable to make decisions on their own does a living will take effect,” he added.
In addition to a living will, it might also be a good idea to have a Do Not Resuscitate Form (DNR) in place.
"A DNR order informs a health care professional not to administer CPR through certain drugs, artificial breath tubes, chest compressions, or a defibrillator if a patient's heart stops or if they stop breathing. It's also important to inform family and friends of a DNR order so they can notify medical professionals in case of an emergency," he added.
A durable power of attorney for healthcare, also referred to as a Medical Power of Attorney, is also a vital part of healthcare directives for anyone who is aging.
When asked to elaborate, he said, "This allows the person making the document to assign a trusted individual, or agent, to make medical decisions on their behalf after they are deemed unable to do so. This encompasses all healthcare-related decisions, so it's vital that the person entrusted to this role is comfortable carrying out medical wishes."
Haiman further added that the agent under power of attorney has the authority to execute the specified health care wishes in court, make decisions in hiring and firing doctors and other medical professional workers dealing with treatments, and receive access to medical records, if the document is properly drafted with the appropriate HIPAA language in it.
“Mapping out one’s medical wishes and having these healthcare directives in order can greatly ease both your and your loved one’s stress, particularly during a medical emergency. To make sure that you have all your bases covered, consult with an experienced elder law attorney,” Haiman commented.
