I just copied a "durable power of attorney" and "Advanced directive" prepared for clients of mine by a prominant attorney and filled in my stuff. These forms are explicit and appoint a health care representative as well as an alternative health care representative. It is good to have one notarized and keep it in a safe deposit box.This one requires a notary AND wintesses. I have heard that some hospitals have not honored decisions to go without life support without an advanced directive, even if your wife has the legal authority... I mean look to the Terri Schiavo case. It is especially important if you are single or gay. Now Lurk, you assume that you won't need one because you are married. What if you and your wife are in a car accident together and she dies and you are in a coma. Who decides what happens? This can cause alot of family problems. You need a directive whether or not you think you do! YOU BAD BOY GO TO YOUR ATTORNEY! I bet you can find one online.
