| A living will, or
advance directive, is
not a part of your will. It is a directive to physicians and other
healthcare providers as to your wishes with regard to specific
treatments or procedures to use in the event of your incapacity. A living will becomes effective only when you cannot express
your wishes yourself.
In the event
of a serious accident or illness, would you want your doctors to do
everything possible to keep you alive, or, would you prefer minimal,
non-invasive treatment? These are extremely tough decisions, and
they require reflection on your philosophical and religious beliefs.
The purpose of a living will is to make your intentions known, so that your family and your doctors will be able
to lawfully act in accordance with your wishes.
Once
completed, discuss your wishes as reflected in your living will with
family members, and be sure they have a signed copy.
