Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a living will and a power of attorney?
A living will states your medical treatment wishes if incapacitated, while a healthcare power of attorney names someone to make medical decisions on your behalf.
Do I need an attorney for a living will?
Not necessarily. Many states offer free standard forms, and online services can also generate valid documents, but an attorney is useful for complex family or estate situations.
Is notarization always required?
Requirements vary by state — some require notarization, others require witness signatures instead, and some accept either.
