Healthcare Power of Attorney & Living Will Kit (Paperback)

This Healthcare Power of Attorney & Living Will Kit allows you to appoint an agent to make medical decisions on your behalf when you are unconscious, mentally incompetent or otherwise unable to do so yourself. It also allows you to set out your preferences regarding the receipt or non-receipt of life sustaining medical treatments during any period in which you are permanently unconscious or suffering from a terminal illness and unable to communicate your wishes. Even if you have executed a healthcare power of attorney or a living will, you still have the right to give medical directions to physicians and other healthcare providers as long as you are able to do so. These documents only become effective when you do not have the capacity to give, withdraw or withhold informed consent regarding your healthcare. This Kit contains all the information and ready-to-use lawyer prepared legal forms and documents necessary to create a combined Healthcare Power of Attorney and Living Will. It also contains all the documents and forms necessary to revoke that document.
