I'm just curious how many people have heard of them, how many people have them and how many people would want to have one. |
I have heard of them but most States do mot recognize them. The best thing/legal thing to do is have a Standard Advanced Directive drawn up as well as a POA (Power of Attorney) stating that if you are unable to make decisions about your health care, physical or mental that ALL decisions go to who ever you appoint.
