Why you need a Representation Agreement

Advocacy: Your representative can act as your advocate and ensure that your wishes are communicated and respected by healthcare professionals and other caregivers.

Avoiding Conflict: Appointing a representative can help avoid potential conflicts among family members or loved ones about what decisions should be made for you. Your appointed representative will have legal authority to make decisions, minimizing disagreements.

Continuity of Care: Having a trusted representative can ensure continuity of care, especially in situations where quick decisions are necessary. This is particularly important if you have specific medical needs or conditions that require prompt attention.

Easing Burden on Family: When you appoint a representative, you relieve your family members or close friends of the burden of making difficult decisions on your behalf. This can also help reduce stress during already challenging times.

Peace of Mind: Knowing that someone you trust is designated to make decisions in your best interests can provide you and your loved ones with peace of mind.
