Reasons to have a living will
To speak for you when you can't
A living will/advance healthcare directive gives you the power to choose the medical treatment you do or don't want if you become unconscious or incapacitated.
For your friends and family
Ease the stress from the ones you love, and help avoid arguments over what medical treatment you should get.
Choose your healthcare power of attorney
Appoint a trusted person who will help ensure your health care wishes are respected.
Why we're different
Convenient
Create and complete your living will from the comfort of your own home.
Accessible legal advice
Rely on guidance from highly-rated lawyers that you can choose from our vetted network.
Fast and easy
With our simple questionnaire, many of our customers finished their living will in under 15 minutes.
Here's how it works
-
Provide instructions for the care you do or don't want, choose your healthcare power of attorney, and lay out any wishes or instructions you want fulfilled.
-
We'll use your answers to create your living will, which you can review in your account.
-
Print and complete using our instructions, or have a lawyer do a final review with you over the phone.
Frequently asked questions
-
Generally, anyone who is at least 18 years old and of sound mind can create one. "Sound mind" usually means the ability to understand what the document is, and what it contains.
-
Your living will takes effect when it's determined that you're in a severe medical condition defined by your state's law, with no hope of recovery, and unable to communicate your wishes. If you name someone to be in charge of your medical decisions unrelated to life support, the document goes into effect when you can't make decisions for yourself.
-
Doctors usually determine you've lost your decision-making ability if you can't understand your treatment choices, or communicate your wishes in any way.
-
A living will spells out whether you want to be resuscitated in certain circumstances, but it's not a DNR. A do-not-resuscitate order is a separate document prepared in consultation with, and signed by, your doctor. You can't create a DNR without a doctor's consent, and we don't provide them.
-
You should also have a discussion with your doctor, family, and health care agent to make sure they understand your wishes. You may also need to update it if your health or family status changes, or to name a new health care agent.
-
