Contemplating the possibility of brain death or finding one's self in a persistent vegetative state is a morbid thought process most of us would rather avoid. Unfortunately, it is a human possibility. And like the family of Terry Schiavo, your loved ones will want to know what your wishes are if you were ever found in that state. Thankfully, with a living will, you can firmly establish them now to get rid of any guesswork or conjecture in the event your family has to go through such a difficult ordeal.
An Oklahoma living will allows you to make clear your constitutional right to decide for yourself regarding your use of artificial life support in the event that death is imminent or a state of coma or vegetation becomes permanent. The life support systems in use today can sustain human life for years, even if the brain no longer functions or the person is in constant pain. Indicate any special wishes or instructions and know that if you change your mind, an Oklahoma living will can be cancelled or revoked at any time.
Included in the LegalZoom living will is the ability to grant someone else health care power of attorney, meaning they can make important health care decisions on your behalf in case you are unable to do so. LegalZoom can help you quickly and easily take control of your health care decisions by preparing a customized Oklahoma living will online.
