Real Estate Land Juegos Motos Real Estate Marketing | Storage Places To Avoid – Don’t “Lose” Your Living Will

real estate land Question: I just came back from my attorney with my estate planning documents.  One of my documents is a “living will,” but I have no idea where to put it.  How about putting it where it will be safe, like in my bank’s safe deposit box?

Answer: Remember that a living will is only useful if it is found!  You should store your living will (also called an “advance healthcare directive”) where it will be found when it is truly needed.

Some people go as far as to refuse food and water if they become incapacitated. A will to live is just that though, it is intended to force caregivers to give you the kind of medical treatment you want if you can’t communicate those directives yourself. You are considered unable to communicate when you become incapacitated or brain damaged.

End-of-life health care decisions can be very difficult and emotional on your family; 1/3rd of Americans have had to make end-of-life health care decisions for their family. A living will form will keep your family members from making these critical, emotional, and frightening decisions.

Putting it where nobody would ever look.  This is a general category.  Never place your living will in a secret place, or in the middle of a “mess.”  It should be kept in a place known to your agent, or otherwise where important papers are kept.

So many people go to the expense of preparing a living will, but give little thought as to where it should be kept.  Even more important, they place their living wills in entirely inappropriate places.  Make sure that your agent knows where you have stored your living will.
