Healthcare wishes, documented clearly

If you lose capacity, who will speak for you — and manage your finances?

Key Explanatory Content:

  • A Living Will (Advance Decision / Advance Directive) records healthcare preferences if you cannot communicate.
  • It guides clinicians and family on what you would and would not want in specific situations.
  • For Muslim families, it provides reassurance that decisions reflect values and compassion.
  • Solicitor-led drafting ensures clarity, practicality, and legal effectiveness.
  • Documents can be aligned with Health & Welfare LPAs and wider Islamic estate planning.

A Well-Drafted Directive Can Cover:

  • Preferences in serious illness or end-of-life scenarios
  • Guidance on burdensome or invasive treatments (where legally applicable)
  • Pain relief and comfort measures
  • Religious and personal preferences (modesty, spiritual care, family involvement)
  • How the directive interacts with a Health & Welfare LPA
