Proactive.
I'm going to trust her experienced wisdom, and so I'd like her to take an active role in bringing up potential sticky wickets that I hadn't even considered yet.
I’d add: Is willing to *understand* my wishes (even if theirs would be different) so they can be a knowledgeable advocate for me.
And: Understands that my wishes could change, so is willing to talk with me about them multiple times.
