Richmond & Williamsburg, VA Advanced Medical Directives Attorneys
We Are Ready to Help You Today
Whether you find yourself with a terminal or incurable illness, are left in a vegetative state, or have some other serious medical situation, having an advanced medical directive in place can ensure your wishes for treatment, or no treatment, are carried out, and you have the peace of mind you deserve.
Fortunately, there is a way to ensure that your wishes are carried out if you become unable to make medical decisions on your own. It is known as an advanced medical directive. In Virginia, this legal tool is comprised of two documents. The first, called a durable power of attorney for health care, names an individual to make medical decisions for you, if you are unable to do so on your own. The second document, called a living will, defines specific types of treatment you wish to receive in certain situations.
An advanced medical directive can be extremely beneficial if you:
Become suddenly ill
Are involved in a serious accident and become incapacitated
Lose the ability to make medical decisions for yourself as you age

“Mr. Baxter was both amiable and professional”
Our very trusted financial advisor gave us the name of this firm when we asked for estate planning help. Mr. Baxter was both amiable and professional, getting to the point when we asked each of our questions, but in such a way we felt we could ask further questions and bounce ideas around before settling on a plan. The support staff was equally helpful, leaving an overall impression of across the board focus on our needs, as well as very friendly follow through. They supplied us with a very thorough binder as well as all files in PDF form so that we can supply parties involved in either paper copies or digital files easily.

“We have confidence in Jeremy's support of us in the future.”
We had felt a need to overhaul our existng estate plan and, based on very favorable published reviews, we switched over to Johnson, Gasink & Baxter. The initial presentation and thoroughness was very clear and we felt very comfortable with Jeremy Johnson. He took pains to ensure we understood the details while, at the same time, showing understanding and empathy with our personal family situation. Jeremy's follow up review of the finished plan followed quickly and, as before was conducted in a friendly and cordial manner. We have confidence in Jeremy's support of us in the future.
