If you haven’t done a living will, your loved ones will have to guess about your wishes if you are ever in a vegetative state or terminal condition with absolutely no hope of recovery. Your loved ones will have a very difficult time, may argue with each other, and then feel guilty about their decision. In the worst of circumstances, a Judge may have to decide your fate. Remember the Terry Schiavo case out of Florida?

You have no excuse for not doing a Living Will.
Now that you have your living will in place, sit down and write a letter to your loved ones to tell them what is important to you if you are in a terminal condition. Give them some guidance.

It's all about you. We can rattle off all kinds of technical stuff and try to dazzle you with legalese. But why? You have to assume that we know the law and how it applies in different circumstances. What we don't know is you and your concerns.
Tell us your story and teach us about you; we'll help you with some really neat legal solutions.
