New Jersey Living Will
What is a New Jersey Living Will?
Creating a New Jersey living will—also commonly referred to as an advance healthcare directive—allows you to formally communicate your end-of-life medical requests to your loved ones. Our New Jersey living will lets you choose different healthcare treatment options in light of multiple end-of-life healthcare emergencies. For example, you can choose different care options if you have a terminal condition, end-stage condition, or in a persistent vegetative state.
While typically created as part of an estate plan, this document can also be used by your family as a reference point for care if you are undergoing any serious medical emergency that has left you unable to make your own decisions. If you are receiving end-of-life care and can consciously make your own decisions, your living will is not utilized. Thus, there is no risk involved when creating a New Jersey living will, as this document only comes into effect if you are incapacitated or unable to consent to care for yourself.
Benefits of a New Jersey Living Will
This document is also useful for your family. As you are stating exactly what you want for your end-of-life care, you will prevent confusion and unnecessary disagreements between your family members and friends. Furthermore, your family will not have to make difficult decisions concerning your end-of-life healthcare.
Most people think of a last will and testament as the major document required to protect yourself and your family in case of your death. However, a last will and testament cannot specify medical treatment preferences. Though a New Jersey living will is difficult to start as you have to face your own mortality, creating this document will give you control of your end-of-life care while also sparing your family from making these difficult decisions for you. Use our New Jersey living will to make your own choices during end-of-life care or other medical emergencies when you are no longer able to express your wishes.
