How well do you know your family? How well do they know you? While this might be the fun premise for a board game, at some point in your life, their understanding of your wishes can be a matter of life and death. While it might not affect you much if they don't know whether you like turquoise more than navy blue, understanding your life support decisions might help keep them out of court. Draw up your own living will and you will do away with any doubt about what you want to happen in the future.
The fact is, we are fortunate enough to have made amazing medical advances in recent years. Machines can now do things no one would have ever thought possible just a few decades ago; amongst those things is keeping a human body alive that could not survive on its own, even if it is in constant pain or the brain is no longer active or conscious.
Indiana living wills do not determine what will happen to your property once you pass away; a living will is a document which lets you decide whether or not to be kept on artificial life support in the event that death is imminent or a state of coma or vegetation becomes permanent. Unfortunately, once in that state, we are not able to make our desires known if they are not already established in writing. Indicate any special wishes or instructions and rest assured that if you change your mind, an Indiana living will can be cancelled or revoked at any time. LegalZoom can help you quickly and easily take control of your health care decisions by preparing a customized Indiana living will online.
