Living Wills

Your Healthcare, Your Choices

A living will, also known as an advance directive, allows you to document your wishes regarding life-prolonging medical treatments. This ensures that if you're unable to communicate, your healthcare providers and family know your preferences.

What a Living Will Covers

Your living will can address decisions about life-sustaining treatments including artificial respiration, cardiac resuscitation, tube feeding, and other medical interventions when you have a terminal condition or are in a persistent vegetative state.

Florida Requirements

Florida law has specific requirements for valid living wills. Our attorneys ensure your document meets all legal requirements and clearly expresses your wishes in a way that healthcare providers can follow.

Comprehensive Planning

A living will works best as part of a complete advance directive package, including a healthcare surrogate designation and HIPAA authorization. We help you create a comprehensive plan that addresses all aspects of healthcare decision-making.

Updating Your Living Will

Your healthcare preferences may change over time. We recommend reviewing your living will periodically and updating it to reflect your current wishes and values.
