Medical Power of Attorney and Living Wills

These two forms work together to ensure your wishes are known and executed once you can no longer speak for yourself.

In your Living Will you will specify whether you wish to have your life prolonged by artificial means, whether you may receive blood transfusions, whether you wish to donate your organs etc.

In your Medical Power of Attorney you will appoint a person or persons to make healthcare decisions on your behalf according to your Living Will.

Note, this form will only come into effect if/when you are incapacitated and cannot make your wishes known.

We supply legal templates for both and additional guidelines to assist you in compiling your documents.
