Healthcare Directives

Make Sure Medical Decisions Reflect Your Wishes Even If You Can’t Speak for Yourself

If something unexpected happens and you can’t speak for yourself, who will make your medical decisions? Will they know what you would want? 

A healthcare directive ensures your wishes are honored and relieves loved ones of the burden of guessing.

At Crawford Law Office, PC, we help you create legally valid healthcare directives—including healthcare power of attorney and living will documents—that reflect your choices. 

    • Healthcare Power of Attorney to name someone you trust
    • Living Will (advance directive) to guide your care preferences
    • Documents drafted according to NC or SC law
    • Flat-fee pricing and straightforward guidance

    Without a Health Care Directive, Others Make the Decisions For You

    When there’s no legal document in place, medical professionals often turn to next of kin or follow general hospital protocols, regardless of what you might have wanted. That can lead to delays, conflict, or decisions that don’t match your values.

    By creating a healthcare directive now, you give your family clarity and confidence. You make sure your voice is still heard—even when you can’t speak for yourself.

    • You Stay in Control – You decide who speaks for you and what kind of care you do or don’t want.
    • We Prepare the Right Documents for Your State – Each state has different forms and rules. We make sure your directive is enforceable where you live.
    • Simple Process, Real Peace of Mind – We guide you through the process and explain every step—so it doesn’t feel overwhelming.

    FAQ: Questions People Ask Before Creating a Healthcare Directive

    What’s the difference between a living will and a healthcare power of attorney?

    A living will outlines your choices for medical treatment—like whether you want life support in certain situations. A healthcare POA gives someone else the authority to make decisions for you when you can’t. They work best together.

    Call 910-582-4680 to discuss how both documents can support your values.

    Who should I name as my healthcare agent?

    Choose someone you trust to make difficult decisions, follow your wishes, and stay calm under pressure. It doesn’t have to be a spouse or family member—it just needs to be someone you believe will advocate for you.

    Call 910-582-4680 for help deciding who to choose.

    Can I change my directive later?

    Yes. You can revoke or update your documents at any time, especially after major life changes. We can walk you through updates quickly and efficiently.

    Call 910-582-4680 to learn how to keep your documents current.

    Are these documents legally binding in both NC and SC?

    Each state has its own required forms and rules. We draft documents to comply with the state where you live or receive care, so they’re recognized and enforceable when it matters.

    Call 910-582-4680 to ensure your directive is legally valid in your state.

    Do I need a lawyer to create a healthcare directive?

    While it’s possible to fill out forms on your own, working with a lawyer ensures your documents are legally sound, properly executed, and tailored to your specific situation.
