Message from Attorney General Terry Goddard
Life Care Planning is an important task for all of us, whether young or old, healthy or facing challenges. Through increased awareness and access to information, Arizonans of all ages can make their choices known about who will manage their affairs in the event of an emergency. My Office has recently produced Life Care Planning for Everyone, a short video presentation that will encourage open discussions so that well reasoned choices can be made before an emergency – choices that will significantly reduce stress on families.
Life Care Planning documents are available at no cost from the Attorney General’s Web site (see link below) and from our Office. They are also available at numerous Satellite Offices located throughout the State (click here for a list of locations, hours and calendar of events). Requests for presentations can be made through the Attorney General’s Community Services Program at 602.542.2123.
