Felinton Elder Law & Estate Planning Centers Founder Urges Use Of These Important Legal Docs

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - March 17, 2020 - PRLog -- Elder Care Attorney, Mindy Felinton writes about the importance of having a Living Will in place even if it never has to come into play, explaining that without one, if tragedy were to strike the medical establishment and/or the courts would determine one's fate.

Delray Beach, FL. March 17, 2020: Mindy Felinton, founder of Felinton Elder Law & Estate Planning Centers, has posted a new article on her law firm's website entitled "Make Important Life And Decisions While In Your Right Mind." Ms. Felinton encourages readers to take action immediately.

"One of the services I provide my clients is that of creating a living will," Felinton states, elaborating further, "A living will is a legal document that provides you and your family members with peace of mind, knowing that your medical care wishes at the end of life are clearly communicated."

As Felinton explains, "Whether a living will is ever necessary in your life or not, you can only make this kind of decision while you are capable and clearly in your right mind." She emphasizes, "It cannot be made if you are incapacitated. Your living will, also called an Advance Medical Directive, will describe to your health care providers, the procedures of treatment that you desire. It also allows you to designate a person you trust to make health care decisions on your behalf should you be incapacitated or be in a vegetative state."
