Preparing for the End of Life
A recent WSJ.com article discusses Advance Directives (Living Wills and Health Care Powers of Attorney) and their important role in end of life situations. I learned that Google now has a free online service for registering such documents.
North Carolina residents should be aware that NC has a statutory form for both an Advance Directive (Living Will) and Health Care Power of Attorney. Both forms were revised in October 2007, although the older statutory forms are still valid. Non-statutory forms may possibly be considered invalid if they do not meet NC's strict witnessing and notarization requirements.
