Arizona Living Will
A living will is a document in which the signer requests not to be kept alive by medical life support systems in the event of a terminal illness. Durable power of attorney is a person you have asked to make your medical decisions if you suddenly become incapacitated. Together these two items combine into something called advanced health medical directives. Living wills can be as detailed or as vague as the patient wants. If a patient writes a detailed living will, the more circumstances they consider, they are more likely to receive exactly the medical treatment they desire. On the other hand if a patient writes a vague will and leaves only a few directives the more likely a doctor is to find a way to save the patients life without compromising the patients will.
