(PRWEB) April 28, 2014 -- The Mesothelioma Compensation Center says, "CNN wrote an article on what a health-care proxy is, and what it means for estate planning. We thought the article was informational and have decided to share this resource with mesothelioma victims in the hopes of educating families on how important this subject matter is. The Center is dedicated to all diagnosed victims of mesothelioma and wants to make certain they have instant access to the nation's most skilled mesothelioma compensation attorneys. The Compensation Center is a premier advocate for all diagnosed victims and their families when it comes to how to properly plan around the unfortunate and life altering news of a mesothelioma diagnosis, which is why the group wants to share what a health-care proxy is this week.”
From CNN Money Magazine: "Making your medical wishes known through living wills and health-care proxies now can save a lot of heartache later. You increase your chances of enforcing your directive when you have a health-care agent advocating on your behalf. You can name such an agent by way of a health-care proxy, or by assigning what's called a medical power of attorney. You sign a legal document in which you name someone you trust to make medical decisions on your behalf in the event that you can't do so for yourself. A health-care proxy applies to all instances when you're incapacitated, not just if you're terminally ill."
