Living Will

A Living Will is a legal document that specifies an individual’s preferences for end-of-life medical care in the event that they become terminally ill or permanently unconscious. The document typically addresses issues such as life-sustaining treatments, pain management, and palliative care. The Living Will is intended to guide healthcare providers and family members in making decisions about the individual’s care, based on their expressed wishes. The document can be revoked or modified at any time, as long as the individual has the mental capacity to do so. The Living Will is an important tool for ensuring that an individual’s end-of-life care is consistent with their values and beliefs.
