        Mr. Ranzenhofer and his attorneys were great! My case was handled quickly and I got a great result – $300,000. I fell at my doctor’s office, so I knew it was a hard case. Mr. Ranzenhofer developed a strategy that got me a great result. I highly recommend Mr. Ranzenhofer and his team of attorneys.

        – Christine Rush

        Reasonable / Professional / Personable … Very nice man to speak to … He helped me feel safe and took away my fear in my legal situation. If or when needed he is ready to jump in and take over. Thank you, Carol

        – Carol Czosnyka

        We were treated in a respectful, professional and helpful manner while preparing our wills, healthcare proxies and power of attorney. Mr. Friedman took as much time as we needed to answer all of our questions and concerns. His staff was friendly and efficient. We highly recommend him.

        – John

        – Mark

        I consulted with Justin Friedman in an effort to obtain reimbursement following damage to my personal property. Justin was diligent, tenacious, professional, and clearly dedicated to assisting me, all of which led to a very positive outcome. I was very impressed with his work and I highly recommend his office.

        Welcome to the New York advance health care directives (living will) section of our New York estates, trusts and elder law website featuring free legal checklists, FAQs, legal guides, forms, seminars and updates on living wills, health care proxies, organ donation, do not resuscitate orders (DNR) and medical orders for life sustaining treatment (MOLST). 

        Living wills are written declarations instructing your family and doctor about life-prolonging medical procedures when your condition is terminal and there is no chance of medical recovery.  Under constitutional and common law, patients have the right to refuse medical treatment.

        A living will gives you the opportunity to express your wishes in advance, since you may not be able to make them known when it becomes necessary to do so.  Life-prolonging procedures include the use of machines if you cannot breathe on your own, performing operations or prescribing antibiotics that cannot realistically increase the chances of recovery, starting your heart mechanically when it stopped beating, or feeding by tube.

        You can specify that the only treatment rendered be for the relief of pain.

        If you have questions about advance directives and how they can help you, contact our experienced Buffalo advance healthcare directives lawyers, and estate planning attorneys today.

        We hope that this free New York legal information resource will help you and your family prepare in advance for health care issues.
