Georgia Living Will-by JP McClelland, Esq.
The Georgia Living Will is a crutial legal document for every adult to have. Everyone over 18 should have one. Why? Don’t you make your own decision? Why give up that right when you can’t communicate what someone knows you want? Don’t with a living will.
The Georgia Living Will allows you to control your medical treatment when you can not speak for yourself. Under Georgia Law, you can make your own medical decisions, generally, as long as you can communicate your desires. What happens when you are in a comma? Or you have no chance of recovery? Do others know what you want them to do? Tell them with your living will, and control your own future.
Also, your boyfriend or girlfriend may not be able to visit you in emergency care. A living will is especially important for couples without a legal relationship like boyfriends and girlfriends. Living wills are especially important for people in civil unions or domestic partners, as well.
The Georgia living will also contains provisions regarding your choice of burial or cremation. In addition, organ donations can be made by you thru your health care agent. Why add to the devastation of your family by causing them to make these difficult decisions.
It is important to consult with an experienced attorney. Small issues to you, can lead to big issues for a judge. Unless you are a professional, and even then, let someone else view your needs, and help you achieve them.
To get a living will, just give us a call and come into the office.
