Living Wills In Florida
A living will is a document created specifically for the potential future event that you become incapacitated and have a terminal condition, have an end-stage condition or
are in a persistent vegetative state. This document names a health care surrogate for this circumstance and spells out your end-of-life medical care wishes.
Your living will can be as specific as you like in describing your preferences for treatment options in various circumstances. This can include:
- Mechanical breathing devices
- Feeding tubes
- Life support for terminal conditions
- Permanent unconsciousness
- Pain-relieving medications
- Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
Although these issues are not easy for many people to address, making your wishes known can be a tremendous benefit to your family. It is common for various family members to disagree on the best course of action for a loved one with serious medical conditions. A clear, effective living will can help prevent contention and dispute when your health care surrogate makes these decisions for you.
