“Advance Directives” and “Health Care Surrogates”

Living Wills and Powers of Attorney: A living will is a written document that allows a patient to give explicit instructions about medical treatment to be administered when the patient is terminally ill or permanently unconscious.  It is also referred to as an advance directive. In Florida, a power of attorney for health care is called a designation of a health care surrogate.  This document ensures that if you become unable to direct your own medical care due to illness, accident or advanced age, that a person you name and trust will be making those decisions on your behalf.
