A living will is a legal document that outlines your wishes for medical treatment in case you become unable to communicate due to illness or injury. It provides clear instructions to your family and healthcare providers, ensuring that your preferences are honored and preventing potential disputes.

You may need a living will if:

• You want to specify the types of medical care you do or do not want in a serious health crisis.

• You wish to name a healthcare proxy (a trusted person to make medical decisions on your behalf).

• You have specific religious or personal beliefs that should be considered in your medical care.

• You want to prevent family disagreements about life-sustaining treatments.

• You want to ensure your wishes are legally binding and followed by healthcare providers.

• You have a serious illness or are undergoing a major medical procedure and want peace of mind.
