Financial Advisors and attorneys are well aware of various “immediate” and “springing legal directives”, such as springing power of attorney, springing living wills, etc.
“Springing” Advanced Directives
But, what about springing advanced medical directives? Yep! These too not only spring into place, when needed, but can also be suspended?
For example, suspension of advanced medical directives during surgical procedures is possible. But, once out of surgery [time-limited], they would immediately spring back into effect!
Assessment
Financial Advisors, clients and patients should know – and inquire – about the exact time-frame of springing medical directives and related suspensions.
