Legal Services
Some parts of health planning can involve legal methods in addition to communicating with your support network. In California, an Advance Health Care Directive is a legal document that outlines what treatments you would want in the event of a medical event where you could not advocate for yourself.
​
Legal services can also be of use when planning a will, preparing for long term care, public benefits appeals and elder abuse intervention.
