MISSOURI, USA – Your life can be changed in an instant: A sudden stroke, a car crash, an out-of-nowhere accident. Moments when you are no longer able to speak for yourself can spur confusion among a spouse, siblings, and children about who has the final say about what’s best for you. Two legal documents, the Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare and the Healthcare Directive, are employed when someone can’t make their own medical decisions and specify who can make said decisions on the person’s behalf.
