Make your Living Will

If you become incapacitated, it’s important for your family members and health care providers to know your desired medical care treatment. You should specify preferences for your end-of-life care in a Living Will form.

A Living Will states your desires about life support care.
A Durable Power of Attorney authorizes your agent to settle financial or estate matters on your behalf. Similar to a Living Will, a Durable Power of Attorney is valid if you become incapacitated.

Your Living Will goes into effect when doctors determine that you are in a severe medical condition and can not communicate your wishes.

Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order is a separate document prepared and signed in your presence by your doctor. Your Living Will may yet specify whether you want to be resuscitated or not.

Basically, your task is done. We also suggest that you communicate your decisions to your doctor, family members, and friends to make sure they understand your desires.

A Living Will explains your health care wishes (end-of-life care, life support, organ donation) if you lose the ability to communicate (due to trauma or illness).
A Last Will and Testament contains your wishes for your estate.

Without a Health Care Directive, your family members will make decisions for your health care treatment if you become incapacitated. It’s a tough burden for your loved ones. With a Health Care Directive, doctors will act according to your own preferences and in your best interest.

Every state has its own laws on what you can specify in a Living Will. In general, you can make decisions regarding the following medical conditions:
1. Life support
Terminal illness or trauma
2. Permanent unconsciousness
3. Organ donation

Yes, you can. Destroy your current Living Will / Health Care Directive and create a new one. You should also tell your family members and doctor how to access your Living Will in case of an emergency.
