Knowledge Portal Donates Living Will Kit Proceeds To Raise Brain Injury
Awareness
(LOS ANGELES) - A Los Angeles-area Web portal has agreed to donate
funds to a national organization dedicated to brain injury research in
honor of Terri Schiavo, the Florida woman who has been in a persistent
vegetative state for 15 years.
Frank Buddenbrock, president of expertsadvice.info wants to help
educate the public about the importance of Living Wills and how they
can help family members make important decisions in the event an
illness of injury requires them to be placed on life support systems.
"The Terri Schiavo case has the entire country thinking about how our
families would react if we were ever in a situation like this,"
Buddenbrock said. "That's why we are going to donate two-dollars
from the sale of every copy of The InfoAmerica Living Will Kit to aid
in researching neurological disorders and stroke in honor of Terri."
Buddenbrock will donate proceeds to the National Institute of
Neurological Disorders and Stroke, which is part of the National
Institutes of Health to raise awareness about traumatic brain injury.

Developed in 1985, The InfoAmerica Living Will Kit is an educational
software package that helps consumers make immediate decisions
regarding their medical and financial situation should they become
incapacitated in the future. The Living Will Kit is legal in all 50
states.
The kit includes Living Will forms and Durable Power of Attorney forms
for both health care and financial care, along with complete
instructions. It retails for $11.95 and can be purchased at
www.expertsadvice.info.
A durable power of attorney is a legal document which authorizes one
person to act on behalf of the individual granting the durable power of
attorney to make financial and/or medical decisions on the individual's
behalf should the individual become incapacitated. "Durable" means
the power of attorney survives if the individual preparing it becomes
incapacitated. If no durable power of attorney is prepared and the
individual becomes incapacitated, the court will appoint a guardian or
conservator to make the decisions.
"Education is part of our mission and we feel strongly about this,"
Buddenbrock said. "We want to empower people to take control so they
can be prepared, heaven forbid, if they should ever require a feeding
tube or life support."
