/24-7PressRelease/ - NAPERVILLE, IL, March 21, 2008 - Living Wills—Why You Need One, How to Get One
A living will is a legal document that provides your family, doctors and health care providers with instructions for your health care and ensures that your wishes are followed—even if you are unable to speak for yourself. In the case of terminal illness, critical injury or permanent unconsciousness, a living will expresses your refusal of, or desire for, specific medical treatments.
The Complete Living Will Kit by Edward A. Haman, attorney, is a complete, easy-to-use guide to preparing your own living will without the expense of an attorney. This book walks you through filling out the necessary documents for your state and offers helpful advice about notifying your family. From the laws surrounding living wills to actually using the document, this book provides you with all the information and forms you need to ensure that your wishes are carried out.
The Complete Living Will Kit, which provides a glossary of terms and ready-to-use forms, explains in simple terms how to:
- Make your wishes known
- Reduce your family's burden
- Find proper witnesses
- Identity specific medical procedures
- And much more.
