Mad_Max Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 My understanding is that only a mexican lawyer can prepare a "do not resuscitate order" that would be valid in mexico. Anyone have any recommendations for a lawyer that has done this for them - and approximate cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intercasa Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 So can I? My guess might be a notario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 " do not resuscitate lawyer" Hey Mad_Max, This heading almost made me spit out my coffee! LOL!! I knew many lawyers in the States, that should have had this as a tattoo on their forehead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex45920 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Anyone know where I can get a "no resusitate" bracelet or pendant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 LOL, the title had me wondering if we were going to have a little humor here this morning. Are lawyer jokes racist too? Spencer, you might want to check and make sure your lady friend doesn't have one of these. I'll bet my wife has several. And actually Max, you brought up a very serious question. Is this sort of thing required in Mexico? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad_Max Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 So I guess a notario is the one to see to get it signed - just found this writeup -http://elparque.weebly.com/uploads/6/1/5/9/615953/2._preparation_for_life_and_death_cdb.pdf but then getting it drawn up can? should ?? be done by a different lawyer? Here is the tob post - http://www.insidelakeside.com/t9536p15-has-any-one-had-a-do-not-resuscitate-order-dnr-prepared-based-on-jalisco-state-law and here is another could reference - http://lifeplanninginjalisco.wordpress.com/ and another - http://www.chapala.com/webboard/index.php?showtopic=31576&hl= This finally made the top of my to do list - so hopefully a clear picture of what to do can/will emerge - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2tog Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 A notario can draw up a DNR as part of a Medical Directive that specifies what you wish to happen when you are dying. It also has to be renewed every 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayBearII Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 My Jalisco health care directive was prepared by notorio Luis Enrique Ramos Bustillos. He is at 760190 in lower Chula Vista behind the Modelorama. You will need to make an appointment, and then once the form is ready, you need another appointment to come back and proofread and sign the form. Along with your spouse, if you are married, the directive names local friends who would be authorized to make decisions if you (or both of you) are unable to do so. It is very specific about the circumstances under which you would not want to be resuscitated. One needs to find a couple of friends who agree with your point of view on this. Luis speaks English fluently and will explain and discuss everything with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 http://lifeplanninginjalisco.wordpress.com/ is the best material for life planning. The preparation for this material was years in the making and is as up-to-date as is possible. But only for Jalisco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Saltos Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Do Not Resuscitate Lawyers is a great idea! Q: What do you have when 50 lawyers are burried up to their neck in sand? A: A shortage of sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
