<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;">Colleagues,<br>
<br>
First time issue for me. Clients, non-native English speakers, want to put their children's names into a Health Care Directive to require physicians to consult with and get approval from the children before honoring the terms of the HCD. I have tried to explain,
in many different ways, why this is not appropriate, but I can't find any legal citation to support my explanation.<br>
<br>
Anyone have suggestions? I tried to suggest that under their Health Care POA, their children have a say in treatment/etc, but that the HCD is to be their choice.<br>
<br>
Please let me know if you have suggestions.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Lisa<br>
