LIVING WILL

A living will is an advance directive for health care

This type of will has nothing to do with the transfer of financial

assets

LIFE SUPPORT

People can sometimes be kept alive through

the utilization of artificial life-support measures

This can be true even when the patient is terminal and there

is no hope of recovery

STATING YOUR PREFERENCES

With a living will you state your preferences regarding the use

of life-support measures

When you have this advance directive in place, doctors will act in accordance with your

wishes

PERSONAL CONTROL

The question of whether or not you would want to be kept alive

via the use of life-sustaining measures is a personal one

This is not a decision that should be left in the hands of someone

else

away

You should certainly take this into account when you are

planning your estate
