You do not need a lawyer to make a living will, although you can get one from a lawyer if you prefer to. Every state has its own requirements for making a living will, so if you make one on your own, make sure you find a form that meets your state's requirements.
A living will is a written, legal document that spells out medical treatments you would and would not want to be used to keep you alive, as well as your preferences for other medical decisions, such as pain management or organ donation.
You must be at least 18 years old. You must be "of sound mind" (the fact that you are reading and understanding this article is sufficient evidence that you meet this test) You must write the will, whether typewritten or handwritten.
