With this Living Will Kit, you can make decisions now regarding your future medical treatment should you become incapacitated and unable to do so.
A Living Will is a document that allows you to designate a person (an "Agent") who will have the authority to make health care decisions on your behalf if you are unconscious, mentally incompetent, or otherwise unable to make such decisions. Unlike the Health Care Power of Attorney, you can also express your specific wishes regarding whether you wish to receive "life-sustaining procedures" if you become permanently comatose or terminally ill.
Appoint someone to make medical decisions
…. You, rather than some court judge, can decide who should be appointed as your lawful agent to make crucial medical decisions on your behalf should you become incapacitated!
Avoid having a court appointed guardian
…. You avoid having a court appointed guardian make medical decisions that could adversely affect you or that you would not approve!
Security of knowing that the person you appoint is trustworthy
…. You will have the security of knowing that the person who has been appointed as your agent is someone that you can trust to make important health care decisions on your behalf!
Security of knowing that your best interests are being acted on
…. You will have the security of knowing that your lawful agent will act in the best interests of you and your family!
Limit the powers of your agent
…. You can limit the rights given to your agent under your Living Will or you can give your agent full rights to make decisions on your behalf – the choice is yours not someone else’s!
