Will making Software – What to Know!
The Living Will generally expresses a wish that you be kept comfortable and be given medication to relieve pain, but that you not be given medical treatments that prolong the process of dying. However, since the Living Will only applies if you have an end-stage medical condition or is permanently unconscious, it isn’t the most effective way of dealing with medical decisions in other situations. The Living Will takes effect only when the Declarant enters a state of permanent unconsciousness or develops a terminal illness. Whether the individual is in such a state must be determined by the opinion of two medical doctors.
Depending on where you live, a living will may also be called an advance directive or declaration. States have their own requirements for DPAs, including how they must be witnessed, who can witness them, and when they go into effect. State law describes the kind of form that must be used in order to have a valid living will. A living will must be signed, dated and witnessed.
