Living Will

Document your healthcare preferences to ensure your medical wishes are honored.

What Is a Living Will?

A Living Will, also known as an advance healthcare directive, is a legal document that outlines your preferences for medical treatment if you become incapacitated and unable to communicate. It guides doctors and family members on decisions concerning life-sustaining treatments, artificial nutrition, and end-of-life care.

Decisions Covered in a Living Will

Use of life support machines (ventilators)
Artificial nutrition and hydration (tube feeding)
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
Palliative care (pain management)
Organ and tissue donation
Antibiotic and antiviral treatments

Living Will vs. Last Will and Testament: What's the Difference?

A Living Will only dictates your healthcare preferences while you are still alive but incapacitated. Once you pass away, the Living Will has no effect. A Last Will and Testament only goes into effect after your death to dictate how your property and assets should be distributed.
