Living Will
A living will is an advance medical directive that specifies which life-prolonging measures you do -- or do not -- want taken on your behalf. Under Florida law, you may designate in advance that if you later find yourself in one of three situations, would you like to "pull the plug" or not? 

If you are a terminal condition, end-state condition, or persistent vegetative state, and two physicians have said that you will not recover, and you have lost the capacity to speak for yourself, you may say now, while you have capacity, whether or not you choose to have artificial life support maintained or removed. In addition, our documents very clearly discuss water and liquid nutrition that is being artificially administered. 

A living will is a document that plasters a legal condition smack on top of a medical situation. Ideally, your loved ones will know your desires, and communicate them well with your medical care providers. Your living will is your written declaration of how you choose to end your days. Ensure that your care is conducted in the manner that you desire. Bailey Zobel Pilcher can guide you through these tough decisions.
