Will medical personnel honor my medical advance directives?

Utilizing the services of an elder law attorney to draft your health care directives will increase the odds that medical personnel will honor your wishes. That's because when one utilizes the statutory form, medical personnel knows exactly what it is. They're not going to get the form and look at it and say I need to give that to my legal department. They'll know that is a designation of healthcare surrogate. They'll know that is a living will.
