Modern technology has made great strides; the life support systems currently in use can sustain human life longer than ever before, even if the brain stops functioning or if a person is experiencing constant, immeasurable pain. While it is common for many people to establish a Last Will and Testament to settle what will happen to their belongings and assets once they die, a living will is equally essential. A Tennessee living will is a document which specifies whether or not you want to be kept alive on using medical technology's artificial life support when it is clear that death is imminent or you are in a persistent vegetative state.
Included in the LegalZoom living will is the ability to grant someone else health care power of attorney, also called a health care proxy. This means your designee can make key health care decisions for you in the event that you are unable to do so. Additionally, the LegalZoom living will includes provisions to designate an alternate health care proxy, or agent, if your first choice cannot be located or is otherwise unavailable.
Take control of these difficult decisions so your family won't have to figure out what to do if you suffer irreversible organ damage. Indicate any wishes or specific instructions in your living will and rest assured - if you change your mind about what you've included in your Tennessee living will, you can render the document null and void at any time. Use LegalZoom to help you take control of your key health care decisions quickly and easily. Prepare your customized Tennessee living will online today.
