Living Will in Florida
A living will in Florida is a written advance directive that specifies your wishes for end-of-life medical care. Governed by Florida Statutes Chapter 765, a living will allows you to document whether you want life-prolonging procedures continued if you are in a terminal condition, end-stage condition, or persistent vegetative state.
Without a living will, healthcare providers and family members may face difficult decisions about your care without knowing your preferences. A living will removes the burden of that decision from your loved ones during an already difficult time.
For families whose faith shapes their medical decisions — including Catholic families who want their end-of-life care to be consistent with Catholic teaching — Aguila Law can help ensure your living will reflects your values.
A living will works alongside your health care surrogate designation: the surrogate makes decisions, the living will records your preferences.
