Some of life’s most important decisions are the ones we may not be able to make ourselves.
Planning ahead isn’t only about your finances. It’s also about making sure the people you trust know how you want your affairs and healthcare decisions handled when you may no longer be able to express those wishes yourself.
That’s where LPA, AMD and ACP come in — and while they may sound similar, each plays a different role:
📄 LPA — Lasting Power of Attorney
Appoints someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you lose mental capacity.
🏥 AMD — Advance Medical Directive
States that you do not wish to receive extraordinary life-sustaining treatment if you become terminally ill and unconscious.
💬 ACP — Advanced Care Planning
Helps you communicate your healthcare preferences, values and wishes with your loved ones and healthcare team.
Different purposes, but one thing in common: giving you a voice in decisions that matter, even when you may not be able to speak for yourself.
