What Is a Living Will?

A Living Will is a legal document that gives instructions to your healthcare providers and loved ones that reflect your healthcare wishes. This document specifically addresses your desire to avoid life-prolonging measures in the following end of life situations:

Situation #1:
You have a condition that cannot be cured and will result in your death within a short period of time.

Situation #2:
You are unconscious, and your doctors are confident that you cannot regain consciousness.

Situation #3:
You have advanced dementia or other substantial loss of mental function that cannot be reversed.
