A person of sound mind and 18 or more years of age may execute a living will declaration (Michigan Health Care Directive to Physician) governing the withholding or withdrawal of life sustaining treatment.
In Michigan Health Care Directive to Physician (Living Will) you may address other important health care issues such as: cardiac resuscitation, artificial nutrition and hydration, comfort care and relief from pain, intravenous tube feeding, blood transfusion, prolonged maintenance on respirator, organ donation, or state your personal values with regards to the end of life decisions. A living will declaration becomes operative when it is communicated to the attending physician and the declarant is determined by the attending physician to be in a terminal condition and no longer able to make decisions regarding administration of life sustaining treatment. When the living will declaration becomes operative, the attending physician and other providers of health care shall act in accordance with its provisions and with the instructions of a person designated pursuant to NRS 449.600 to make decisions for the patient. A living will declaration is not required to be in the statutory form. This directive is effective until you (the Principal) revoke it. THIS HEALTH CARE DIRECTIVE TO PHYSICIAN IS NOT VALID UNLESS IT IS SIGNED IN THE PRESENCE OF TWO COMPETENT ADULT WITNESSES. THE FOLLOWING PERSONS MAY NOT ACT AS ONE OF THE WITNESSES: (1) the person designated by the Principal as your agent; (2) a person related to the Principal by blood or marriage; (3) a person entitled to any part of the Principal’s estate after the Principal’s death under a will or codicil executed by the Principal or by operation of law; (4) the Principal’s attending physician; (5) an employee of the Principal’s attending physician; (6) an employee of a health care facility in which the Principal is a patient if the employee is providing direct patient care to the Principal or is an officer, director, partner, or business office employee of the health care facility or of any parent organization of the health care facility; or (7) a person who, at the time this power of attorney is executed, has a claim against any part of the Principal’s estate after his or her death. If there is something you do not understand about this legal document you should consult an attorney. Before signing this Michigan Living Will you need to discuss your treatment with your physician in as many details as possible, and consider types of treatments that you want/do not want to be performed for you when you are unable to express your wishes because of your illness. Please make sure to state clearly particular treatments you want or do not want. |
