Dallas Fort-Worth Living Wills
Protect Your Loved Ones with a Living Will
Advance directives are legal documents that allow you to make important decisions about your medical care should you become unable to communicate your wishes. There are two types of advance directives: a living will and a durable power of attorney for healthcare. The former allows you to specify the medical procedures you would or would not like to receive in certain situations, while the latter appoints someone you trust to make medical decisions on your behalf.
Advance directives are important for anyone who wants to take control of what happens to them when they are unable to speak for themselves. They also provide peace of mind for family members who may be unsure of what to do in a medical crisis. Our team of attorneys can help you create an advance directive that reflects your wishes, whether you live in Dallas, Plano, or anywhere else in the greater Dallas area.

The Importance of a Living Will
A living will is a document that outlines your wishes regarding medical care in certain situations. It can be useful in a variety of circumstances, including when you are terminally ill, in a coma, or otherwise unable to communicate your wishes. A living will can also help you avoid unwanted medical treatment and reduce the burden on your family members who may be unsure of what to do.
In a living will, you can specify the medical procedures you would or would not like to receive in certain situations. This includes situations such as when you are terminally ill, unconscious, or in a vegetative state. You can also state whether you would like to be taken off life support if it cannot be reversed. Additionally, you can choose to donate your organs or body to science. Your living will should be updated regularly to ensure that it reflects your current wishes.
The Importance of a Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare
A durable power of attorney for healthcare allows you to appoint someone you trust to make important medical decisions on your behalf if you are unable to speak for yourself. It is especially important to have a durable power of attorney for healthcare if you have a serious medical condition, such as a terminal illness, or if you are elderly. If you do not have a durable power of attorney for healthcare, a judge may have to appoint a guardian to make medical decisions for you.
A durable power of attorney for healthcare allows you to choose the person you trust most to make important medical decisions on your behalf. This person is known as the agent. The agent can make medical decisions for you if you are unable to communicate your wishes, such as whether to take you off life support if it cannot be reversed or to donate your organs or body to science. The durable power of attorney for healthcare can also name a successor agent if the person you originally chose is unable to serve.

"Thank you and God Bless you"
Thank you for being my Living Trust and other Estate documents attorney. Due to our move and storage of business and personal documents, we had trouble locating & we took a lot longer to respond to your drafts, etc. You were very patient with me and my needing lots of explaining of legal terms and meanings. At my age, I was concerned about getting things done but wanting it all done right. You were very prompt in responding to my questions and I think by time of signing I felt confident we had things just the way we wanted to protect my heirs. Thank you and God Bless you.

I am very much appreciated your service If anyone like me needed your service I will introduce about you. Everything you did with in a week. Very much satisfied all your service.- Sarah P. -
"Smooth and easy"
Learning about trusts at the meal was easy and educational. The set down at the office was where the finer points of trusts was explained. That is where and when we decided to make it safe and easy for our heirs. Our final meeting where we signed everything and an explanation of each item was given went smooth and easy. All in all I would say the investment in the trust was worth it.
Thank you to Crain & Wooley office and staff- Anonymous -

"Excellent, Highly recommend"
We went to seminar to just find out what we needed to do for a will, They gave us all the info we needed right then there. Offered a really good price if we signed up to get one that day. A few weeks later after our appointment we have a Living trust. They were helpful with all our questions and were very thorough with these explaining the whole process. They stuck with the price that we paid + let us call anytime if we had any questions. Excellent, Highly recommend this company.
