Texas
Directive to Physicians or Advance Directives (formerly
called Living Will): a written statement of wishes regarding
the use, withholding or withdrawal of life-prolonging
treatment, nutrition and hydration if a person has a
terminal condition and is incapable of making decisions for
himself at that time.
Texas
Medical Power of Attorney allows the individual to
assign someone to make decisions about his or her medical
care in the event that he or she becomes incapable of making
informed decisions. It also allows an individual to give
written instructions regarding the kind of treatments that
should or should not be given. Even with a Medical Power of
Attorney in place, an individual will continue to make his
own medical decisions as long as he is capable of doing so
and can communicate those decisions. The agent's authority
starts only when the attending physician certifies in
writing that the individual no longer has the capacity to
make those decisions.
Durable
Power of Attorney allows an individual to designate a
friend or family member to manage all or just part of your
property and financial affairs.
