What is the difference between an Advance Medical Directive (AMD) and a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)?

Accepted Answer

• AMD: States your wish not to receive extraordinary life-sustaining treatment if you are terminally ill and death is imminent. It only applies to end-of-life medical decisions.

• LPA: Appoints one or more donees to make decisions on your behalf if you lose mental capacity. It covers broader decisions, including personal welfare, finances, and medical care.

Can I do my LPA or AMD separately or together?

Yes, you can complete your Advance Medical Directive (AMD) and Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) separately or together. It's recommended to have both documents in place to ensure comprehensive planning for both healthcare and financial decisions should you become incapacitated.
