Massachusetts Lawyers Handling Health Care Matters

If you become incapacitated, who will make your medical decisions? If you haven't granted this authority to someone, no one will know what your wishes are and even if they think they do, they may not have legal authority to act.

To protect yourself and those that you love, make your wishes known in advance and make sure that these wishes are legally binding. At Fitzpatrick & Associates, P.C., in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, we can help you create a health care proxy. This document ensures that you decide who will make your decisions when you are unable. Contact us today for your free initial consultation, to discuss whether a health care proxy or living will is appropriate for you.

What Is A Health Care Proxy?

A heath care proxy names a person as your agent, to make decisions in the event that you become completely unable to express your wishes. This authority is only activated at the time that a doctor declares you incapacitated - so it covers a very narrow set of circumstances. If you wish to establish authority more broadly, we can also prepare a health care power of attorney for you.
