What Is an Advance Directive (Living Will)?

Protect Your Healthcare Wishes with a Legally Binding Document

An Advance Directive, also known as a Living Will, is a vital legal document that lets you clearly state your wishes regarding medical treatment if you're ever unable to speak for yourself due to illness, injury, or incapacity.

This document allows you to specify your preferences for life-sustaining treatments such as resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, feeding tubes, and other critical care decisions. It also outlines your choices around pain management and end-of-life comfort measures, ensuring your care aligns with your personal values—not guesswork.

Having an Advance Directive on file helps guide healthcare providers and loved ones during difficult times, reducing confusion and emotional stress. It gives your family peace of mind, knowing your care preferences are legally documented and honored—even when you can’t advocate for yourself.
