Product Summary:
The Living Will Kit makes your health care wishes known, controls the care you receive, and ensures death with dignity if you become incapacitated. Product Details: The Living Will Kit is simple to use, easy to understand, and a great way to express your choice of when to discontinue treatment and life support—and who should have the power to make that decision for you. The purpose of a living will is to provide doctors and other health care workers with clear directions regarding how you would like your medical care handled toward the end of your life. A living will makes it possible for you to specify, in advance, exactly what your preferences are, regarding the use of life-sustaining medical procedures if you are ever in a terminal medical condition or in a vegetative state and are unable to give such directions yourself. As more and more advances are made in the medical field in terms of the ability to prevent “clinical” death, the difficult situations envisioned by a living will are destined to occur more often. The legal acceptance of a living will is currently at the forefront of law. Living wills are accepted in all states, but they must adhere to certain legal conditions. A few states do not currently have specific legislation providing express statutory recognition of living wills, but courts in those states have ruled that living wills are legally valid. Although a living will does not address all possible contingencies regarding terminally-ill patients, it does provide a written declaration for the individual to make known her or his decisions on life-prolonging procedures. A living will declares your wishes not to be kept alive by artificial or mechanical means if you are suffering from a terminal condition and your death would be imminent without the use of such artificial means. It provides a legally-binding written set of instructions regarding your wishes about this important matter. The Living Will Kit includes • 24-page manual with step-by-step instructions through the process of creating your living will, including how to complete the forms included in kit • Living Wills and Advance Health Care Directives for all 50 states and District of Columbia • Forms for Health Care Power of Attorney, Power of Attorney for Financial Affairs, Designation of Primary Physician, Organ Donation, and many more. • State appendix that outlines in detail the specific characteristics of each state’s laws relating to living wills. All contents reviewed and approved by attorneys or industry experts.
