Making Your Wishes Known: Why You Need A Living Will

Planning for the future means more than just financial matters. It also involves making your healthcare wishes known. That’s where a Declaration of Living Will comes in. Let’s explore its importance and how it can protect you and your loved ones.

A Declaration of Living Will is a legal document that outlines your healthcare preferences in the event that you are unable to communicate or make decisions for yourself. Here’s why understanding and having a Declaration of Living Will matters:

1️⃣ Healthcare Decisions: A Declaration of Living Will allows you to express your preferences for medical treatments, life-sustaining measures, and end-of-life care. It ensures that your healthcare decisions align with your values and beliefs.

2️⃣ Relieving Burden: By clearly stating your healthcare wishes, you relieve your loved ones of the difficult task of making challenging decisions on your behalf. Your declared preferences provide guidance and peace of mind during challenging times.

3️⃣ Family Unity: Having a Declaration of Living Will can prevent potential conflicts among family members who may have differing opinions on your medical care. It promotes unity and ensures that your wishes are respected and followed.

4️⃣ Healthcare Proxy: Along with a Declaration of Living Will, you can designate a healthcare surrogate who will make medical decisions on your behalf. This trusted individual ensures that your wishes are carried out and acts as your advocate. Make sure your attorney prepares a Designation of Healthcare Surrogate for you.
