We have all been witnesses to the great moral, political and religious controversies involving the Terri Schiavo case over the past few months. If there is any lesson we can all learn and agree upon, it is that having a written, signed and legally binding set of instructions concerning our healthcare needs, preferences and values is indispensable.

Pennsylvania law, along with the law of every other American jurisdiction, recognizes the right of an individual to have his or her healthcare preferences carried out even if he or she is unable to speak for themselves. If the absence of a written and signed set of instructions, healthcare providers will usually follow the advice of the "next of kin":, which, in the case of a married individual would be the spouse and if not married, would be the parent or adult child of the individual.

Unfortunately, disputes often arise among family members if the wishes of the patient are not clear. You can provide great comfort to your family and loved ones by leaving a set of instructions. I can prepare a set of instructions which speaks your needs with a simple but effective Living Will. Because of the urgency of this, I am offering a special price of $125.00 to meet with you and your family and prepare a Living Will. You will not only have greater peace of mind for yourself, but will show your family and loved ones the trust and concern you have for them.
