Directive to Physicians — Protecting Your Medical Wishes with Confidence

Planning for future medical care is one of the most meaningful steps you can take to protect yourself and your loved ones. A Directive to Physicians—often referred to as a “Living Will”—allows you to clearly state your medical choices in advance, giving you full control over the type of care you want if you become terminally ill or unable to communicate. At Ace Law, Attorney Kevin Acevedo guides clients through this process with clarity, compassion, and legal precision.

What Is a Directive to Physicians?

A Directive to Physicians is a legally binding document that outlines your preferences for life-sustaining treatments, end-of-life decisions, and medical interventions. This directive only takes effect when you are diagnosed with a terminal or irreversible condition and cannot express your own wishes. Its purpose is simple: to ensure that your voice is respected, even when you cannot speak for yourself.

Why This Document Matters

Without a Directive to Physicians, crucial healthcare decisions may fall on overwhelmed family members who may not know what you want. This can create conflict, confusion, and emotional stress during an already difficult time. Your directive gives doctors and loved ones clear instructions so they never have to guess. It ensures your dignity, comfort, and personal values remain at the center of your medical care.

What You Can Specify in Your Directive

Your Directive to Physicians can outline:

• Whether you want life-sustaining treatments like ventilators or feeding tubes
• Preferences for pain management and comfort care
• Instructions on resuscitation or emergency interventions
• Your beliefs regarding artificial hydration or nutrition
• How aggressively you want physicians to intervene
• Any personal, religious, or philosophical values that matter to you

Attorney Kevin Acevedo helps you identify and express your wishes in a clear, legally enforceable manner.
