UK Living Will

Take the burden of making urgent medical care decisions for you off your family. Make a Living Will with this ready-made sample form for England and Wales.

• A Living Will (sometimes called an advance directive, medical power of attorney or healthcare directive) sets out your wishes and instructions to your doctor and family regarding the types of medical treatments you want to receive in the event your condition makes it impossible for you to give those instructions verbally.
• The Living Will comes into effect ONLY if you are no longer able to make and communicate your own health care decisions.
• The Living Will form includes instructions on how to complete it, how to appoint a health care proxy (if you desire), and how to keep your Living Will in a safe place.
• This template is valid for use in England and Wales.

This UK Living Will form is available in Microsoft Word format. Other formats available on request.
