I didn't realize how much use I would…
I didn't realize how much use I would make of this program, or the range of functions that it offers. I just got the free-version at first because I needed a digital signature. But now, as an academic, I find I use it all the time to share and to sign documents: now that everything is online and we have limited contact, this has become more important. I can't say that I've mastered or even noticed all the file features this program offers, but almost every time I use it I discover something new. Well worth the money!

How much does an advance directive cost?
Obviously an attorney-prepared advance directive costs much more. Some lawyers charge a flat rate for a basic estate plan, which includes a will, powers of attorney, and advance directive. Those fees can range from $1,000 to $2,500 or more and depend on what is included in the attorney's services.
What happens if you don't have an advance directive?

Is a DNR an advance directive?
A do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order can also be part of an advance directive. ... They do this with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). A DNR is a request not to have CPR if your heart stops or if you stop breathing. You can use an advance directive form or tell your doctor that you don't want to be resuscitated.
Can family override advance directive?
An advance directive, alone, may not be sufficient to stop all forms of life-saving treatment. You may also need specific do not resuscitate, or DNR orders. ...

Can family override DNR?
If your doctor has already written a DNR order at your request, your family may not override it. You may have named someone to speak for you, such as a health care agent. If so, this person or a legal guardian can agree to a DNR order for you.
What if the family disagrees with the DNR order?
What if the family disagrees with the DNR order? Ethicists and physicians are divided over how to proceed if the family disagrees. At many hospitals, the policy is to write a DNR order only with patient/family agreement. ... Nevertheless, CPR should generally be provided to such patients, even if judged futile.
Can a DNR be revoked by family?
DNR can be revoked at any time by the patient or the person who acted on behalf of the agent. Revocation can be in the form of communication to responding health care professionals, destruction of the form, or removal of devices.
What happens if you don't have a DNR?
A DNR could cost you your life. Having a DNR means that if your heart stops or you can't breathe, medical staff will let you die naturally, instead of rushing to give you cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Correctly interpreted, a DNR bars just that one procedure resuscitation.
