What Every Ohioan Should Know About Advance Directives

Over 65% of older adults arrive at the hospital without a living will or healthcare proxy on file. In this video, estate planning attorney and CFP Greg DuPont breaks down the three documents that form the foundation of incapacity planning: the living will, the healthcare proxy, and the durable power of attorney for finances. Together, they determine who speaks for you, what medical treatments you do or don't want, and who keeps your financial life running if a crisis strikes. Skip any one of them, and the state fills in the blanks using a legal hierarchy that has nothing to do with your values or your family dynamics. If you've ever watched a family fight over what a parent would have wanted, you already know why this matters.
