Oklahoma Advance Directive for Health Care (Living Will)

Your health and your values are deeply personal. An Advance Directive for Health Care, often called a Living Will, allows you to make your wishes regarding medical treatment known in the event you are unable to communicate them yourself. This document is a profound gift to your loved ones, relieving them of the burden of making difficult decisions on your behalf during a crisis.

Components of an Oklahoma Advance Directive

Appointment of a Health Care Proxy: You name a trusted person (your proxy) to make medical decisions for you when you cannot. This person is legally bound to act according to your wishes.
End-of-Life Treatment Wishes (Living Will): You can provide specific instructions about the use of life-sustaining treatments, such as mechanical ventilation or tube feeding, if you are in a terminal condition or a persistently unconscious state.

At J. Stewart Legal, we help you think through these sensitive issues and formalize your wishes in a legally binding document, ensuring your voice will be heard and respected in critical medical situations.
