Scott Alan Flanders drafts legal documents on behalf of clients, involving their assets and long-term care decisions. He is experienced in writing living wills and other advanced medical directives.
Advanced directives give individuals the ability to preemptively make decisions about life-saving treatments before they become seriously ill or injured. Advanced directives usually contain guidelines on the types of life-extending procedures the individual will accept in a critical situation. For example, a directive may request that no resuscitation efforts be pursued if the individual goes into severe cardiac arrest or stops breathing.
Directives may also discuss procedures such as tube feeding or the use of breathing machines. These documents can also include information about how the individual would like their body prepared after passing. Some ask to be organ or tissue donors. Others may ask to forgo an autopsy for religious reasons.
