Bar Center Cary CLE Credit: 4.0 Hours, includes 0.5 Ethics/Professionalism Plus 4 Video Replays Seasoned legal and medical professionals will highlight and explain House Bill 634 Advance Directives/Health Care Power of Attorney. This measure rewrites North Carolina s health care power of attorney and living wills statutes and forms. This law also introduces an additional instrument the Medical Order for Scope of Treatment (MOST) form. In addition, the program will discuss House Bill 1372 The Heart Prevails, which establishes a complete new set of rules for organ donation in North Carolina. Learn not only how the forms and processes have changed but gain important insights from medical professionals on end-of-life decision making. This program is a must attend event if you want to stay current on the most recent changes to an area of the law that affects clients of many general practitioners as well as elder law and estate planning lawyers.
