Who will make your
medical decisions when you can't?

A Gift to Your Family: Planning Ahead for Future Heath Care Needs helps you get started. This guide, developed by Wisconsin lawyers and medical experts, answers questions about advance care planning issues, such as the power of attorney for health care, living wills, and organ and tissue donation.
