Do You Need a Healthcare Directive in Pennsylvania?

Healthcare Power of Attorney and Living Will in PA

Understand how healthcare directives work in Pennsylvania and why every adult should have one.

A healthcare directive answers one critical question. Who makes medical decisions for you if you cannot?

In Pennsylvania, this typically includes a Healthcare Power of Attorney and a Living Will.

A Healthcare Power of Attorney allows you to appoint someone to make medical decisions on your behalf. A Living Will outlines your wishes regarding life-sustaining treatment.

Without these documents, family members may disagree. Hospitals may require consensus. Conflict can delay care.

Planning provides clarity in emotionally difficult moments.

Every adult over 18 should have these documents in place.

If you do not have updated healthcare directives, contact Sojourner Law, PLLC to schedule a consultation.
