Question

1. George is an eighty year-old man in relatively good health. However, he sees many of his friends dealing with healthcare issues and how sometimes, families bicker over the healthcare decisions of a loved one who is incapacitated. George would like to be confident that no issues like that would arise in the event of a decline in his mental function so he is going to issue what type of legal document(s) that will be effective in the event he becomes incapacitated?

Answer 1

Answer: He is going to issue an ADVANCE DIRECTIVE.

Explanation: An advance directive is a document outlining a person's end-of-life medical and healthcare wishes.
