Baby boomers have long since been heralded as the generation that prizes their youth to the extent where they don’t want to go give it up. For this reason, many individuals of this generation in either Scottsdale or Mesa have put off making important decisions about retirement and their plans for when they reach the end-of-life stage. However, this is one of the most important things you can do as an adult of any age.

Your wishes for your health and your estate upon the end of life stage not only ensures that everything proceeds as you wish, but takes the burden off of family and friends to make such decisions in your place. For example, Arizona residents that are of baby boomer age should fill out an Arizona living will to ensure that health care decisions are made just as the person would like instead of being at the mercy of someone else’s decisions. People living around the world should have a similar move for true peace of mind.

A Scottsdale living will – or a document filed in any other state for that matter – stipulates what you would want to happen should you be rendered unable to make sound healthcare decisions on your own. This can be as general as whether or not you would want extraordinary measures to be taken in the event of a medical emergency or as specific as the hospital in which you prefer to receive treatment. You can stipulate how your medical bills should be paid and which doctors you do and do not want treating you.

Many baby boomers see this as an affirmation of lost youth, which is why they may avoid filling such an important document out to plan for this unfortunate occurrence. However, it is important to ensure that things go exactly the way you would plan for them to if you could make such decisions for yourself. After all, there may be nothing worse than being physically or mentally powerless, only to see that decisions are being made for you contrary to what you would have wanted for yourself. If you live in Arizona, filling out an Arizona living will can help you to avoid this; if you live in a different state, filling out a living will for your locale can ensure that you have a say in your end-of-life care, whether it a fun reality to face or not.
