02

Specific Treatment Preferences

Records your preferences for CPR, mechanical ventilation, tube feeding, dialysis, antibiotics, and diagnostic tests — individually.

03

Pain Management

Directs providers to prioritize comfort and pain relief and specifies whether medications that may affect consciousness are acceptable.

04

Organ and Tissue Donation

Documents your donation decision — all organs, specific organs, or no donation — so your wishes are clear and legally recorded.

05

Healthcare Agent Designation

Names a primary and alternate person authorized to make medical decisions for you when you cannot, and defines the scope of their authority.

06

Revocation

Explains how to cancel or update this Directive while you still have decision-making capacity.

About

A living will is a legal document in which you record your preferences for medical treatment at the end of life — while you are still able to express them — so that doctors and family members can honor your wishes if you become incapacitated. It typically addresses whether you want life-sustaining measures such as CPR, mechanical ventilation, tube feeding, or dialysis in specific scenarios, such as a terminal illness or permanent unconsciousness. A living will may also name a healthcare agent (sometimes called a healthcare proxy) to interpret your wishes. Every U.S. state recognizes advance healthcare directives, though signing requirements — witnesses, notarization — vary. Executing a living will reduces family conflict, relieves loved ones of difficult decisions, and ensures your medical care reflects your values.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a living will?
A living will is a written legal document that states your preferences for medical treatment if you become unable to communicate — for example, whether you want life support, resuscitation, or tube feeding in specific circumstances.
Is a living will legally binding?
Yes, in states that recognize advance healthcare directives (all 50 U.S. states do). Healthcare providers are generally required to follow your stated wishes, subject to their own conscientious objection policies and state law.
Does my living will work in other states?
Most states have reciprocity provisions that honor advance directives from other states if they substantially comply with the home state's requirements. Traveling or moving to a new state with a copy of your directive is generally sufficient.
Do I need a notary for a living will?
Requirements vary by state. Many states require two witnesses; some also require notarization. Check your state's specific requirements or consult an attorney to ensure proper execution.
Can I change or revoke my living will?
Yes, at any time while you have decision-making capacity. You can revoke it by signing a written revocation, destroying the document, or telling your healthcare provider verbally.
How is a living will different from a healthcare power of attorney?
A living will records specific treatment preferences. A healthcare power of attorney designates a person to make decisions on your behalf. Many people execute both documents together for comprehensive coverage.
