How Medford Residents Can Protect Their Healthcare Wishes with a Living Will

When medical emergencies strike, your voice matters. A living will ensures Medford healthcare providers follow your wishes, not standard protocols, when you can't speak for yourself.

A living will helps you tell doctors and your family about:

  • Whether you want machines to help you breathe
  • If you'd prefer to be in a hospital or at home for care
  • If you want to donate your organs to help others

Think about Sarah, who had a bad injury while hiking at Wharton State Forest. Without a living will, her parents and husband might have very different ideas about her care. Her husband might think she'd only want comfort, but her parents might push for new, risky treatments.

This causes big arguments and pain for the family during an already devastating time. If Sarah had clearly outlined her wishes in a living will, her family could have worked together to honor what she clearly wanted instead of guessing.

Difference Between Living Will and Last Will

People in Medford often get these two important papers mixed up:

  • A living will speaks for you while you are alive but can't talk. A living will guides your medical care, like what treatments you want or don't want.
  • A last will takes effect only after you pass away. A last will tells everyone who gets your money and things and names guardians for your children.

In New Jersey, your living will forms one part of your advance directive. The other part is naming someone who advocates for your documented wishes when you cannot.

Why Every Medford Adult Needs Living Will Protection

Some people think living wills are only for older folks. But that's not true. Emergencies can happen to anyone, at any time, whether you're driving on Medford-Mount Holly Road or having a regular check-up at Virtua Medford Primary Care. You never know when you might need it.

Without a living will, New Jersey state laws or your family will make your medical choices for you. And they might not truly know what you would want or what matters most to you.

Don't leave your healthcare decisions up to chance. Contact our Medford living wills attorney today. It's the best way to make sure your voice guides your care, even when you cannot speak.
