Living Will and Health Care Power of Attorney (IN)
This questionnaire helps you to create documents that protect your right to refuse medical treatment you do not want or to request treatment you do want if you lose the ability to make decisions for yourself.
- Living Will Declaration: This instructs your physician and family that life-prolonging treatments should NOT be used so that you are allowed to die naturally. However, it doesn't prohibit any and all types of life-prolonging procedures. You will be able to name the procedures you want or do not want.
- Life-Prolonging Procedures Declaration: This document is the opposite of a living will. This document expresses your wishes to have all life-prolonging medical treatments used to extend your life.
- Appointment of Health Care Representative: This allows you to name someone to make decisions about your medical care, including decisions about life support, if you can no longer speak for yourself.
- Anatomical Gift: This allows you to state your wishes for donation of organs, tissues, and other body parts, which could be used for transplantation, therapy, medical research, and education.
