Living Will
Ensure your healthcare wishes are honored. Joe Joe Ingram Law LLC prepares living wills and advance directives, providing peace of mind for you and your family.
It’s difficult to think about a time when you might not be able to speak for yourself, but planning ahead can spare your loved ones from uncertainty and tough decisions. A living will—also known as an advance healthcare directive—lets you clearly state your preferences for medical treatment if you become seriously ill or incapacitated. Joe Joe Ingram Law, LLC guides individuals and families in preparing living wills that reflect their values, beliefs, and priorities.
What Is a Living Will?
A living will is a legal document that outlines the types of medical care and life-sustaining treatments you do or do not want if you are unable to communicate your wishes. This includes decisions about:
- Resuscitation (CPR)
- Mechanical ventilation
- Tube feeding and hydration
- Pain management and comfort care
- Organ and tissue donation
By having a living will in place, you ensure your wishes are known, and your family members are relieved from making difficult choices in moments of crisis.
Why You Need a Living Will
Serious illness or injury can strike unexpectedly, leaving you unable to express your healthcare preferences. With a living will:
- Your wishes are legally documented and must be followed by healthcare providers
- Family members and loved ones are spared from guessing or disagreeing about your care
- You maintain control over your medical treatment, even when you can’t communicate
