Why you Need a Paralegal to Draft Your Living Will (Advanced Directive) and Not a Template Document

A living will is used to provide details on the type of healthcare treatments that you want to be used on you if you are incapacitated or severely ill. Your living will (advanced healthcare directive) is one of the most important documents in your estate plan, and as a result you should hire a San Diego paralegal to help you draft your living will exactly as you want it instead of purchasing a template. Scott Schoeller will ensure that your living will covers everything you need.

Don’t use a template for your living will, hire Scott instead

If you use a template for your living will you run the risk of not having your specific wishes for medical treatment spelled out. A template does not offer any customization at all unless you decide to edit it substantially, which defeats the purpose of buying a template in the first place. Your money will be much better spent on a San Diego legal expert, like Scott Schoeller, who will customize your living will exactly as you want, and make sure that it has the specific treatments listed that you do and do not want.

You also need to have a health care power of attorney drafted along with your living will, and Scott Schoeller will have the legal knowledge to draft a health care power of attorney for you that covers everything needed.

Hiring a San Diego paralegal to draft your living will and health care power of attorney will ensure that your wishes are properly detailed and easy to understand for physicians if it ever needs to be used.
