Helping Federal Employees and Annuitants Understand Their Benefits

A living will allows you to determine - in advance - the level of care you desire if you should become terminally ill. It also covers conditions such as Alzheimer's disease or if you are diagnosed to be in a permanent coma, a medical condition that results in death regardless of the continued application of life support. Every state has their own unique forms.
I initially used
Quicken Willmaker Plus
to
draft both my wife's and my wills, Living Wills, called a Declaration in
Pennsylvania, and powers of attorney forms. You can also have your attorney draw
these documents up. Quicken will generate two forms, a
Declaration which outlines your wishes, and a Durable Power of Attorney that
appoints a primary and alternate person to make healthcare decisions for you if
you can't. It takes less than a half hour to complete your forms and print them
out. In Pennsylvania you must have two persons over the age of 18 witness your
signature and attest to your soundness of mind at the time the document is
signed. This software covers all states except for Louisiana. Quicken WillMaker Plus takes you
through a step-by-step interview to complete your personal forms.
