Living Will Kit
What Does This Kit Contain?
This kit contains all the legal documents you need to
successfully prepare a legally binding living will and durable power of
attorney for both financial and health care. All the forms are in a
fill-in-the-blank format. Also included are instructions explaining how to
prepare the forms and then what to do with them when finished.
Living Will And Durable Power Of Attorney
What would you do if you were involved in a serious
accident or had an illness such as Alzheimer's Disease? With a living will
and durable power of attorney, you can prepare now should you be
incapacitated later. All medical and financial decisions will be made
ahead of time.
Without a living will, it's quite possible the state,
and not the dying person's family, will decide whether life support
systems will be used or not. In many cases, the state decides against the
family wishes because of the fear of a possible lawsuit.
What Is A Living Will And Durable Power Of Attorney
A living will is a legal document which is prepared
when a person is mentally competent which will dictate a person's wish not
to be kept alive on life support machines after they may become brain dead
in a serious accident or from an illness.
A durable power of attorney is a legal document which
authorizes one person to act on behalf of the individual granting the
durable power of attorney to make financial and/or medical decisions on
the individual's behalf should the individual become incapacitated.
"Durable" means the power of attorney survives if the individual preparing
it becomes incapacitated. If no durable power of attorney is prepared and
the individual becomes incapacitated, the court will appoint a guardian or
conservator to make the decisions.
Complete forms and instructions with optional 3.5 inch software disk.
