Holmes Shirley Law, along with other national, state and community organizations, will be involved with National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD). This is a national effort to highlight the importance of advance healthcare decision-making.
Having swift and immediate access to well-drafted healthcare directives in a medical emergency can reduce stress on patients, hospital staff, and most importantly, loved ones. Additionally, making healthcare decisions before an actual medical emergency is critical.
The comprehensive estate plans provided by Holmes Shirley Law include the personalized healthcare directives that clients need in a medical emergency. These documents can include a healthcare power of attorney, living will, HIPAA release, among others. Our firm also emphasizes to clients the importance of talking to their family about their wishes. These conversations can make difficult situations later on much easier.
Holmes Shirley Law also takes its commitment to healthcare decisions one step further by making sure that clients’ healthcare directives are immediately available to family members and to the hospital in an emergency. With a membership in DocuBank provided as part of all estate planning done with Holmes Shirley Law, clients know that a hospital can get their legal directives and other critical medical information around the clock, just by carrying a wallet card.
In honor of NHDD, Holmes Shirley Law is providing information and tools for the public to talk about their wishes with family, friends and healthcare providers. The firm can also assist with the execution of written advance directives (healthcare power of attorney and living will) in accordance with Colorado state laws.
Specifically, on April 16, Holmes Shirley Law will be hosting an informational session on healthcare directives at 9:30 am at their office in downtown Castle Rock as well as offering ½ off preparation of simple healthcare documents (a $125.00 savings) from 10:30 am until 2:30 pm. Space is limited so please contact us at 720-248-7621 to reserve your spot or visit their website at: www.ColoradoEstateLaw.com for more information.
Other good information about National Healthcare Decisions Day is available at www.nhdd.org and www.docubank.org.
