Living Will Registration: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Understand how to register your end-of-life care preferences to ensure your medical treatment choices are respected by doctors and family.
This registration allows you to officially document your preferences regarding medical treatment and end-of-life care.
Who it's for
This is for any adult who wants to clearly define how they wish to be treated medically if they become unable to make decisions for themselves.
What you get
By registering, you gain legal certainty. It ensures that both your doctors and your family members know exactly what your treatment choices are during critical medical situations.
What it costs you
There is a small fee required to prepare your documents and complete the registration process.
The catch to know
A registration alone may not be enough if it is not easily accessible. If doctors cannot find your document during an emergency, they may default to life-prolonging measures that might not align with your personal wishes.
How to apply
- Prepare your medical preferences regarding end-of-life care.
- Complete the necessary documentation.
- Pay the small registration fee.
- Ensure the registered document is stored in a place where it can be found quickly by medical staff.
