How to Make Medical Care Plans

Find the documentation that you will need to fill out for your medical care plans. The best way to do this is to contact a lawyer or a hospital. Sometimes hospitals will give out free information packets for your medical care wishes. These documents may include living wills, do not resuscitate orders and documentation as to the executor of your will and medical plans, should you become mentally incapacitated and unable to execute your medical wishes.

Consult with a lawyer then write out your wishes in a clear and concise manner. You may or may not wish to have a living will or a do not resuscitate order (DNR), but if you do not fill this out your family and medical care givers will have to weigh the options of what is best for your situation. This means you may stay on life support for an invariable about of time after being proclaimed brain dead, or you may be resuscitated numerous times after heart failure.

Tell your wishes to the person you will be leaving in charge as your executor. You need to make your wishes known and clear before any misunderstandings can arise. If you don't want life support, you must tell this to the executor and also put it in writing. After your documentations are filled out you must have everyone sign including the witnesses. This is done for your benefit as well as the families benefit in the long run. No one can contest that you were not of sound body and mind at the time the documentation was signed.

Double-check all of your documents and have your lawyer double-check all your documents. Have your lawyer keep a set of these documents in a safe place and give you copies. Take your copies to a safe place that the executor will have access to in the event of an emergency or medical care situation.
