Creating Directives

At TrustHandled, we understand how important it is for individuals and families to have up-to-date directives at all times – especially during medical emergencies when time is of the essence. Our platform offers an efficient, cost-effective option to ensure that your desires are respected and carried out.

We provide directive documents at a fraction of the cost that lawyers would charge. Our platform makes it easy to store and access these documents so that your wishes are clear and quickly available when needed.

Directives and Why You Need One

A directive is a legal document that outlines your wishes in the event of a medical emergency. It allows you to make informed decisions about your medical care even if you are unable to communicate for yourself due to a serious illness or accident.

  • With a directive, you can decide what kind of treatments you don’t want and who should be making decisions for you in times of need.
  • It can help ensure that your end-of-life medical care preferences are respected: A directive allows you to specify the types of medical treatments you would like to receive (or not receive) if you become incapacitated and unable to make your own decisions.
  • To avoid conflict among those you love: Without a directive, those you love may disagree about what medical treatment you should receive. A directive helps ensure that your wishes are unambiguous, helping to avoid conflict and stress.
  • To avoid the need for a court-appointed guardian: If you don’t have a directive, a court may have to appoint a guardian to make medical decisions on your behalf. A directive allows you to appoint someone you trust to make these decisions for you when you cannot.
  • To protect your privacy: The process of determining end-of-life medical care can be emotionally charged and deeply personal. A directive allows you to have a say in these matters without having to discuss them publicly.
  • To provide peace of mind: Creating a directive gives you peace of mind knowing that your end-of-life care preferences are on record and will be respected. It can also provide peace of mind for your loved ones, knowing that they are acting following your wishes.

What Could Happen if You Don’t Have a Directive

  1. Without a directive, a court will have to decide what your wishes are and what should be done.
  2. Your medical preferences may not be protected.
  3. A court will appoint a guardian to make medical decisions on your behalf regardless of your wishes.
  4. Without a directive, your loved ones may be faced with the difficult task of deciding what medical treatment you should receive. This can be a great burden, especially if they are unsure of your preferences.

    Additional features such as a designated loved one access service that allows someone else to take over management of the document if needed, such as in the case of death or illness.

Additionally, our platform also offers comprehensive data protection measures including encryption algorithms and secure storage protocols to ensure all documents remain private and confidential at all times.
