San Diego: National Healthcare Decision Day
In San Diego, California [as well as across the United States], April 16 is National Healthcare Decisions Day. In San Diego, with over 1,000,000 residents alone, this is a very important topic. In California, the Advance Health Care Directive is a form which is included in a living trust to insure that your wishes are carried out if you cannot make them for yourself due to incapacity or other factors.
A recent article in the San Diego North County Times highlights this issue. In this article, George Chamblin writes that a "new survey finds that most families, willing to hold meaningful discussions on other issues, are still hesitant to deal with death". In our law firm of Pinkerton, Doppelt & Associates, LLP, we assist families in beginning the discussion on this topic. In addition, you can feel free to e mail to our firm for assistance in this discussion.
