Help Your Family: Secure Your Wishes With A Living Will

No one likes to think about death, but planning ahead can make life easier for your family after you’re gone. Having a living will not only ensure that your wishes are followed, but it can also help protect your estate from probate court and lessen the burden on your family during an already difficult time. Learn more about why having a signed and notarized living will is important and how Elite Mobile Pros can help make the process fast and easy.

What is a Living Will?

A living will is a legal document that outlines an individual's healthcare preferences and end-of-life wishes. It allows individuals to express their wishes regarding life-sustaining medical treatment, including artificial ventilation and feeding tubes, in the event that they are unable to communicate these preferences themselves. A living will goes into effect if an individual is incapacitated and unable to make decisions about their own care.

Living wills are an important tool for ensuring that an individual's healthcare preferences are respected in the event of incapacity. They can provide peace of mind for both the individual and their loved ones, knowing that the individual's wishes will be followed.

It is important to note that a living will is not the same as a power of attorney for healthcare, which appoints someone else to make decisions on the individual's behalf. A living will only comes into effect if the individual is unable to communicate their own wishes.

Benefits of Having a Notarized Living Will

A notarized living will is a legal document that clearly outlines your wishes for end-of-life medical care. It can help to ease the burden on your loved ones during a difficult time and can ensure that your wishes are carried out.

There are many benefits to having a notarized living will. First, it can give you peace of mind knowing that your wishes will be followed if you are unable to communicate them yourself. Second, it can save your loved ones from having to make difficult decisions about your care in the event that you become incapacitated. Third, it can help to avoid conflict among family members or other loved ones about what you would want in terms of end-of-life care.

Fourth, a notarized living will be used as evidence in court if there is ever any question about what your wishes were or whether they were followed. Finally, having a notarized living will provide some level of financial protection for your loved ones by allowing them to avoid paying for unwanted medical treatments.

Steps to Prepare a Living Will

A living will is a legal document that allows you to state your wishes for medical care if you are unable to communicate them yourself. This can be an important tool to help your family make decisions about your care if you become seriously ill or injured.

There are a few steps you can take to prepare a living will:

1. Talk to your family and close friends about your wishes for medical care. This can help them understand your wishes and make it easier for them to make decisions on your behalf.

2. Choose a healthcare proxy. This is the person who will make decisions about your medical care if you are unable to do so yourself. Make sure to choose someone you trust and who knows your wishes.

3. Put your wishes in writing. You can use a standard form or create your own document. Be as specific as possible about the types of treatment you would or would not want to receive.

4. Have two witnesses sign the document, and have it notarized if possible. This helps ensure that it will be legally binding.
