Whether you are a person living with MS or not, planning for the future provides an opportunity to ensure that your healthcare and financial matters are in place in the event that you are unable to make decisions for yourself. Advance care planning, also known as a ‘health care directive’ or ‘living will,’ allows people to communicate and document their wishes in a case where they are unable to provide informed consent to healthcare and other legal, financial and social matters.
