All advice articles for seniors that I have read advise us to have a will, durable power of attorney, physician's directive, and a medical power of attorney. My attorney's office tells me that I have a"Living Will Advance Health Care Directive" which designates a health care advocate for me and therefore I do not need the Medical Power of Attorney.
Importantly, the Texas statute makes it clear that you don't need to use either statutory form. You can use any form you want. But it is unclear exactly what your"Living Will Advance Health Care Directive" actually is.
