This guide empowers you in two situations where you would normally be utterly helpless. Imagine yourself incurably ill and physically and mentally incapable of communicating your wishes, with the doctors doing their utmost to keep you alive. Do you want your life prolonged artificially? Do you want to receive only basic care and be allowed to die with dignity? Then make a living will: an advance refusal of medical treatment now. This book helps you to decide whether a living will is for you, and offers a plain English living will to make your wishes known. Now imagine yourself mentally incapable of running your financial affairs. Unless you previously granted an Enduring Power of Attorney, a court will step in and strangers will control your affairs. An EPA is the legal authority for someone you trust to handle your financial affairs if you become mentally incapable of doing so; and this book shows you how to do this.
