Let's talk about Living Wills

Do I need a Living Will in California?
A living will is essential for any adult, regardless of age or health status, who wants to ensure their medical care preferences are followed in case they become incapacitated and unable to communicate their wishes. It provides clear instructions to healthcare providers and family members, helping to avoid disagreements and confusion during critical situations.
What's the difference between a Will and a Living Will?
The terms can be confusing, but the documents are very different. A living will focuses on medical preferences and end-of-life care, outlining your wishes for treatment if you become incapacitated and unable to communicate. On the other hand, a last will & testament deals with the distribution of your assets and property after your death, as well as appointing guardians for minor children if necessary.
What is a Living Will called in California?
In California, a living will is called an "Advance Health Care Directive."
What is an Agent called in California?
In California, your agent is referred to as an "Advance Health Care Directive Agent."
What if I'm pregnant?
California law states that a living will's provisions may not be effective if the person is pregnant and the life-sustaining treatment is likely to result in the live birth of the child or the continuation of the pregnancy to the point of viability.
Pregnant women in California should be aware that their living will provisions might not be enforced during their pregnancy and should communicate their wishes with their healthcare agent, family, and healthcare providers.
Does a Living Will impact life insurance?
A living will does not impact the validity of a life insurance policy in California. A living will deals with end-of-life healthcare decisions, while a life insurance policy provides financial support for beneficiaries.
