Living Will Kit

What you get in this Kit:

Step-by-step Guidance Manual explaining how to make your own Living Will.
Ready-to-complete Living Will forms, for use in England & Wales and Scotland.

Unlike a Last Will & Testament, which deals with your estate after you die, a Living Will is a document (also known as an Advance Decision) in which you can set out your wishes regarding your own medical treatment.
By making a Living Will, you can avoid loved ones having to make difficult decisions on your behalf, if through age or illness you are not able to tell doctors yourself what treatment you want.
With a Living Will, you can communicate your wishes to healthcare professionals in advance.
This Lawpack provides background information, advice, and instructions, with completed example, for making your own legally binding Living Will.
Expert guidance is given on:

• History and legal background of Living Wills
• Treatment decisions you can make
• When a Living Will applies
• What happens if you do not have a Living Will
• The relationship between Lasting Powers of Attorney and Living Wills
• How to complete a Living Will
• What to do with your Living Will
• Updating your Living Will
• Withdrawing or revoking your Living Will
• Legal differences in Scotland
