If a serious illness or injury left you unable to speak for yourself, would your loved ones know what choices you'd want made? From ventilators and CPR to pain management and end-of-life care—it’s not easy to think about, but making your wishes clear now can bring peace of mind later.

A living will and durable healthcare power of attorney are essential for making end-of-life healthcare decisions. Your living will allows you to express your choices regarding treatments when you're unable to communicate. A trusted caregiver or family member can be named as your durable healthcare power of attorney.
