A Living Will is a kind of advance care directive.
It is a legally binding document that allows you to make a direct statement in advance as to what medical care and treatment you wish to receive if you ever become injured or incapacitated and unable to communicate your personal health care decisions.
Another form of an advance care directive is a Health Care Advance Directive or (Health Care Power of Attorney). With a Health Care Advance Directive you can authorize another person to make decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated in any way. Experts recommend that you prepare both a Health Care Power Advance Directive and a Living Will.
Your state legislature dictates how a Living Will must be prepared and signed to be legally valid. Our forms have been prepared to adhere to the most current laws and provisions for your state of residency. When state statutes allow, some of our forms have been prepared to serve as both a Living Will and Health Care Power of Attorney.

Important Tip!
If you spend much or most of your time in another state, you may consider preparing another document for that state as well. A Health Care Power of Attorney or Living Will is only valid for the state in which it was written. A person can have more than one Health Care Power of Attorney or Living Will.
