Estate planning isn’t just about distributing assets — it’s also about making sure your healthcare wishes are honored.
In Florida, having a living will and naming a healthcare surrogate ensures your family knows what to do if you can’t speak for yourself.
What Is a Living Will?
A living will details your preferences for medical treatment such as resuscitation, life support, or end-of-life care — if you become incapacitated.
What Is a Healthcare Surrogate?
This person makes medical decisions on your behalf if you’re unable to do so. They should be someone you trust deeply — a spouse, adult child, or close friend.
Why These Documents Are Crucial
Without them, your family may face emotional and legal struggles while trying to guess your wishes. Hospitals may even require a court order before proceeding.
