• Control over healthcare decisions: Specify the types of medical treatments you want or don’t want.
• Appoint a healthcare agent: Choose someone you trust to make medical decisions for you.
• Peace of mind: Ensure your wishes are respected even if you cannot speak for yourself.
• Avoids confusion: Provides clear guidance to doctors and family members.
