Stay in control of your decisions
Clients benefit from an Advance Directive by having the opportunity to be in control of the decisions made for them in life-threatening situations. It also allows medical staff and family members to be aware of your preferences if decisions about you have to be made and you are unable to make them for yourself. It’s a doctor’s duty to act in your best interests and do all that they can to keep you alive (including invasive surgery or treatment) unless an Advance Directive has been made and states otherwise.

However, it is generally accepted that if an advance directive is created when the granter could do so and the granter sufficiently understood the consequences, purpose and effect of the proposed treatment and refusal, the advance directive will be binding.
