Peace of mind about end-of-life preferences
Most people have clear ideas of their end-of-life preferences, but few share these with family and physicians. The Washington State Living Will Registry is designed to preserve Washington State residents’ final wishes. A living will (also known as a health care directive) gives you the power to record your most important medical decisions in case you are unable to communicate them later. People of all ages should have a living will. The Living Will Registry can also record other end of life documents, including a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment form (POLST), and Mental Health Directives. Whatever end of life documents you choose, by recording them using the Washington State Living Will Registry, your family members will be comforted knowing that your treatment choices are up-to-date and accurate.
