Why Do I Need DocuBank?

Be Heard
Of all your legal documents your advance medical directives are the only ones that you may need access to quickly in an emergency. Unfortunately, according to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, living wills are not accessible in 74% of cases when needed in hospitals. (JAMA, August 9, 1998,274;278)

This means that 74% of all people who take the time to complete their living wills and other advance medical directives are still not having their wishes heard. DocuBank helps to make sure that the documents you've completed will be there when they are needed most. DocuBank transmits a client's advance medical directives to a hospital instantly, 24 hours a day/7 days a week, around the world.
