A living Will is a document drawn up by Will writing solicitors in North Wales that outlines someone’s preferences for their healthcare if they become unwell or lose their capacity to make their own decisions.
A person will still be alive when the terms of this paperwork come into effect, so it is vital that all aspects of it are considered carefully.
Any adult can make a living Will, but those who have health conditions may choose to make completing one a priority. Any person, no matter how healthy, can suffer from sudden and unexpected health issues, so it is important to discuss your preferences with your legal advisor just in case.
Those who already have health issues should consider matters such as end of life care and treatment options.
When major surgery or medical treatments are scheduled for a person, it is a good time for them to think about a living Will. The document can lay out their decisions about resuscitation or the emergency measures they would like or not like to happen, in the event of their procedures not going according to plan.
Many people have strong beliefs about medical treatments, so using a Will solicitor in North Wales is essential to make those known to friends, family and medical staff. Having a living Will could remove pressure and stress from loved ones.
