In this episode of Splitting Heirs, Warren K. Racusin and Bridget Harris of Lowenstein’s Trusts & Estates practice discuss end-of- life decision making with Cynthia X. Pan, MD FACP, AGSF, Chief of the Division of Geriatrics & Palliative Care Medicine at New York-Presbyterian Hospital-Queens, exploring the nuances of healthcare directives, advance care planning, and the extent of ‘extraordinary measures.’ In light of the complex medical, ethical, legal, and spiritual issues at stake, the lawyers emphasize the importance of clearly documenting one’s end-of-life wishes well before it seems necessary, in order that those wishes can be effectively carried out by family and healthcare professionals when the time comes.
Speakers:
Warren K. Racusin, Partner and Chair, Trusts & Estates
Bridget Harris, Counsel, Trusts & Estates
Cynthia X. Pan, MD FACP, AGSF, Chief, Division of Geriatrics & Palliative Care Medicine, New York-Presbyterian Hospital-Queens
