Will to Live Project

THE WILL TO LIVE protects your own life and the lives of
your family members when you cannot speak for yourselves

Names someone you trust to safeguard your life when you cannot speak for yourself as your "health care agent"
Names backup agents if your first choice can't serve
Describes the treatment you do and do not want to guide your health care agent and physicians
Protects your family and health care agent from pressure from health care providers and others by allowing them to prove what you really did want
Relieves the agony of decision making for them by making your wishes clear

What is the Will to Live?

The Will to Live is a legal document that you can sign which:

Names someone to make health care decisions for you (your "heath care agent') if you develop a condition that makes it impossible for you to speak for yourself (become "incompetent"), and
Makes clear (in the form of written instructions to your health care agent) what medical treatment you would want if you can no longer speak for yourself.
