Modern life support systems can prolong the life of an individual's body for a very long time, even if the brain stops functioning or if the human being is in constant agony. While most set up the very important Last Will and Testament to outline how their assets should be handled once they die, a living will is equally vital. A Louisiana living will is a legal document which indicates, in writing, whether or not you would like to be kept alive on artificial life support when it is obvious to medical staff that death is imminent or a coma or vegetative state will never be reversed.
Included in the LegalZoom living will is the capability to endow someone else with health care power of attorney, in other words, he or she can make key health care decisions on your behalf in the event that you are not capable of doing so yourself. Furthermore, the LegalZoom living will allows you to designate an alternate health care agent if your first choice is unavailable.
Take control of these difficult decisions yourself so your loved ones won't have to figure it out for you. Make sure to indicate any special wishes or directives and relax - if you change your mind, a Louisiana living will can be cancelled or revoked at any point. LegalZoom can help you take control of your own health care choices quickly and easily. Shrink your to-do list - plan your customized Louisiana living will online today.
