Do Not Resuscitate Order

admin — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 13:17:59 +0000

In the past when a person did not want to be revived after a heart attack or when they had stopped breathing they would inform their physician of their decision. A note would then be placed into the patient’s medical chart. This was an informal notice, normally printed on red paper, that served to notify other caregivers.

These type of documents did not have the force of law. Now a law has been passed in Illinois which authorizes a special form. This can be used to tell hospital staff and other care givers of the patient’s wishes that they not be revived in certain situations.

The “Do Not Resuscitate Order” is a formal one page document, printed on bright orange paper, that memorializes the wishes of a patient regarding cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This new option is not in wide use yet. It could prove to be usefull when the agent under a Power of Attorney for Healthcare is not close by when end of life decisions must be made. Time will tell whether it gains wide acceptance.

At this time, we do not recommend the use of these new documents. We do not yet have a history of whether they will be honored or of how they will be used.

A much better system is to tell your family what you wish them to do when the time comes. Name one of them as your agent in a Power of Attorney for Health Care. Let your agent talk with the doctors and make sure they understand what you want.

Receiving the Power of Attorney Video: My Experience | LegalZoom

admin — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 12:58:07 +0000

http://www.facebook.com/legazoom My video is about my 73 year old aunt and her desperate need for help in dealing with her business affairs. Due to the loss of her husband of 42 years and her only daughter being placed in a nursing home, she was walking around in a daze, not knowing what day it was. She asked for my help but I told her that she needed to give me Power of Attorney in order to handle her affairs. Neither of us had a lot of money for an attorney. Her affairs was in chaos and I was out on disability due to an on the job injury. That’s when I began my Legal Zoom experience. After seeing an advertisement on tv, I went online, browsed through the Legal Zoom website, found what I needed and placed my order. I received the Power of Attorney in the time frame promised and at a very reasonable cost. It’s format was very professional and I was very pleased. I would definitely use the service again and also recommend it to friends. | LegalZoom Customer Story Contest
