Tell Doctors And Family What You Want When You Can’t Speak

A living will guides critical decisions if you’re in a terminal condition or permanently unconscious. You can state preferences for resuscitation, life support and ventilation, artificial feeding and hydration, and comfort-focused care. We’ll translate your values into clear instructions that providers in Tucson will recognize and follow, and we align your document with your medical power of attorney.

Legally Recognized, Carefully Executed

Arizona law honors living wills when properly signed and witnessed or notarized. The document only speaks in serious, defined situations; it doesn’t affect routine care. Clear direction relieves your family from guesswork and reduces disagreements at the worst possible time.

How It Differs From DNR Orders And POAs

A DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) is a medical order from a physician that clinicians must follow; your living will can express your CPR preferences but isn’t a substitute for a doctor’s DNR. Pair your living will with a financial power of attorney and a medical power of attorney so health and money decisions are covered together.

Conversations First, Documents Second

We help you think through real-world scenarios, prepare clear instructions, and execute properly with witnesses or a notary. You’ll get guidance on sharing copies with your agent, primary doctor, and local hospitals, and on reviewing your choices as life changes.
