Living Will: Your Legacy, Your Terms
Create a legally binding living will to specify your healthcare wishes and ensure your medical preferences are respected if you cannot communicate.
Why You Need a Living Will
A living will (also called an advance healthcare directive) allows you to specify what medical treatments you do or do not want if you become unable to communicate your wishes. Without this document, healthcare providers and family members may have to make difficult decisions without knowing your preferences.
Our living will service helps you:
- Clearly state your medical treatment preferences
- Specify end-of-life care wishes
- Reduce potential family conflicts over your care
- Create state-specific documents that comply with local laws
- Ensure healthcare providers follow your instructions

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a living will and a healthcare power of attorney?
A living will specifies which medical treatments you want or don't want, while a healthcare power of attorney appoints someone to make healthcare decisions for you. For comprehensive protection, we recommend having both documents.
When does a living will take effect?
A living will only takes effect when you are unable to communicate your healthcare decisions, typically due to unconsciousness or severe cognitive impairment, and your doctor has determined you have a qualifying condition as defined in your state's laws.
How do I ensure healthcare providers follow my living will?
Provide copies to your primary doctor, hospital, healthcare agent, and close family members. Discuss your wishes with them in advance. Consider carrying a wallet card indicating you have a living will and where it can be found.
