Living Wills Kit

Living Wills Kit provides you with everything you need to write a living will, a representation agreement, or a health-care directive. It’s written by a Canadian lawyer for Canadians and includes information for all provinces and territories.

What would happen if tomorrow you became incapacitated? Who would take care of you? Who do you trust to make decisions about your health care, medical intervention, and personal care? The traditional living will allows you to make statements only about your end-of-life choices, but with this kit you can draw up legally binding directives that appoint a substitute decision maker and give instructions on how decisions are to be made.

Following the easy-to-understand instructions in this book, and using the forms provided in the book and on the CD-ROM, you can be assured that you are leaving clear, precise instructions that express your fundamental values and beliefs.

Topics covered include:

Is my doctor required to honor my wishes?
What will happen if I don’t have a directive and become incapacitated?
What are the legal options in my province or territory about who makes decisions for me if I am incapacitated?
What issues other than health care can be assigned to a substitute decision maker?
How can I limit the power of my decision maker to protect my interests?

Living Wills Kit contains information for all provinces and territories, including sample directives and forms you can fill in. The forms on the CD-ROM are in both MS Word and (Acrobat) PDF formats, for use on a Windows-based computer.
