What is a living will?
A living will is also referred to as an advance directive or healthcare directive, and expresses how an individual wants to handle end of life healthcare. A will expresses wishes for distribution of an estate; a living will is for physicians and health care professionals to understand what type of care you want without relying solely on the decisions of family members.
This document helps doctors, physicians and health care professionals to handle a number of situations such as when to use or not use CPR, or palliative care. Palliative care is commonly referenced, which means it is specified as acceptable to provide care that reduces pain and suffering.

These are a few of the many reasons why it’s a smart choice to entrust an attorney with living will preparation services:
If you lose the ability to communicate: In the unfortunate event that you become unable to communicate, a living will can replace your words and let doctors and authorities know what you want to say.
If you want to stay in control: You know now that you want to stay in control of what’s best for you. Living will preparation services are a good way to ensure that your idea of what’s best for you doesn’t get obstructed by someone else’s opinion.
If a family disagreement arises: It’s not uncommon for family members to disagree when it comes to what’s best for their loved ones. You can save your family members from any potential disagreement by stating exactly what you want in your living will. Your desires will be clear-cut and closed to interpretation, thus preventing any arguments from occurring.
What happens without a living will?
vWithout a living will, someone may be delegated to make decisions on your behalf.
