Health Care Proxy Lawyer Helping Connecticut Families

Deciding who will make medical choices for you if you cannot is one of the most personal steps you will take. Maybe you are planning ahead for potential health changes, or you are caring for an aging parent and want to make sure others honor their wishes. A properly drafted health care proxy – also called a health care representative designation – lets you appoint someone you trust to act on your behalf when you cannot.

Attorney Matthew T. Stillman at Stillman & Associates, LLC, serves clients in Guilford and throughout central and eastern Connecticut as a health care proxy attorney. With his background in elder law, trust and estate planning, and Title XIX disability planning, he can help you create clear, legally effective documents that reflect your values and protect your future.

A Health Care Proxy Lets You Name Who Makes Decisions

You choose an agent to speak and decide for you when you cannot. Under Connecticut law, you may appoint a health care representative, who then holds the power to accept or refuse treatment, consult doctors, and manage care consistent with your expressed wishes. Attorney Stillman guides you through selecting an agent, defining the scope of their powers, and drafting the directive so your voice remains central.

Advance Directives And Supporting Planning Documents Matter

A health care proxy works best with supporting tools like living wills and powers of attorney. Together, these documents shape your care. He coordinates your estate-planning portfolio to align decisions about finances and medical care, helping reduce the burden on your loved ones.
