What Is a Living Will?
A living will is also called an advanced health care directive. It is an estate planning document that gives instructions to family members, physicians and other medical professionals about your wishes in certain medical situations. If you are incapacitated and unable to communicate, family and doctors refer to the living will. It includes your decisions about receiving life-sustaining treatment such as a feeding tube, respirator, intravenous hydration and antibiotics. If you are seriously injured, gravely ill or permanently unconscious, you can save your loved ones the pain of making decisions for you.
You can also name a trusted family member or friend to serve as your health care power of attorney. This individual makes medical decisions on your behalf if you are unable.
Attorney Kurt Lichtenberg can talk to you about this sensitive topic. For more than 30 years, our law firm has helped people make important decisions that affect themselves and their families.
