An advance decision is a legal document setting out a person’s wishes and preferences in relation to medical treatment that they might be offered in future.
The advance decision would only be considered if, at the time the treatment is offered, the person lacks the mental capacity to accept or refuse this treatment themselves.
How we help.
At Butler & Co Solicitors, we advise on the benefits of making an advance decision and the impact on any Lasting Powers of Attorney granted. We provide assistance to clients in drafting the advance decisions and advising as to any issues likely to arise in future and how to safeguard against these.
Issues are likely to relate to advice about specific treatments which can be refused. We can provide advice in this regard.
Our rates for this area of work are competitive.
