Living Wills

What is a Living Will?

A living will, one of several advance directives available to Floridians.  It can be a written or oral statement, outlining the kind of medical care you want to receive, in the event that you are incapacitated and unable to make decisions on your own behalf.  It is referred to as a living will because it takes effect while you are still alive.

While it is not a topic that most people don’t like to think about, it is important that your family and medical professionals are aware of your decisions, especially as it concerns life-prolonging procedures.  With a living will, the medical decisions are in your hands, and you can clearly outline your plan for future care, removing the burden and responsibility from your family and friends.
