Looking for Peace of Mind?

We believe everyone should have peace of mind that their medical wishes will be carried out in the event of incapacity. We will help, free of charge.

In January 2011, Betty Frances Williams lost her 8 year battle with breast cancer. Fran, as Ms. Morley knew her, was a beloved sister and friend. In her final weeks, Fran was incapacitated by her disease, leaving her medical decisions to be made by her trusted husband. In situations where one is unable to make medical decisions for themselves, two legal instruments may be used—a Living Will or a Health Care Power of Attorney. These legal instruments are called Advance Directives.

A Living Will is a legal instrument that is used to make your wishes known regarding life prolonging medical treatments. It may also be called a health care directive or a physician's directive. A Living Will can express your wishes to your health care provider and to your family in the event you cannot speak for yourself.

A Health Care Power of Attorney is a legal instrument that is used to appoint a representative to make medical decisions for you in the event you are incapacitated. The representative should make decisions with your wishes in mind, so it is important to choose someone you trust and to talk to them in advance about your desires and values.

A Living Will and a Health Care Power of Attorney can be used separately or together. In honor of Fran, THE MORLEY LAW FIRM, PLC provides a service of preparing Living Wills and Health Care Powers of Attorney free of charge to anyone who requests it.
