- Names someone you trust to safeguard your life when you cannot speak for yourself as your "health care agent"
- Names backup agents if your first choice can't serve
- Describes the treatment you do and do not want to guide your health care agent and physicians
- Protects your family and health care agent from pressure from health care providers and others by allowing them to prove what you really did want
- Relieves the agony of decision making for them by making your wishes clear
