Royal Oak – Detroit Living Wills Lawyers

We all know about the terrible controversy that surrounded Terri Schiavo and her family because she didn’t have a living will or healthcare directive indicating her wishes if she were ever in a vegetative state and on life support. In her case, her parents stated Terri would never consent to going off life support because of her Catholic upbringing; her husband stated that Terri confided in him she would not want to be on life support if she were brain damaged with no hope of recovery.

What ensued was a costly ten year legal battle between husband and parents. It was a legal battle that could have been avoided if Terri had a living will or healthcare directive that granted power of attorney to someone to make the decision on her behalf. Don’t make the same mistake Terri Schiavo made.
