Georgia's Living Will

A Living Will is a document that could be used to postpone or delay our death. The name of the document may differ from state to state. Each state however identifies documents of this nature as advance directives. They allow us to choose the kinds of medical treatment we want or don=t want. Specifically, the Living Will allows us to choose whether or not we want to die naturally, without our death being artificially prolonged by various medical procedures.

Does Georgia Have a Living Will Law?
Yes. Georgia's law was first passed in 1984.

How Does a Living Will Differ From a Last Will And Testament?
A Last Will and Testament is a legal document that expresses how we want done with our money and other property after our death. Information on the requirements for a Last Will and Testament is available from the Division of Aging Services or may be available from your local Extension county agent in the form of a Bulletin #1018, entitled "Wills and Estate Planning."

A Living Will is different from a Last Will and Testament and has nothing to do with money or possessions. A Living Will deals with how we wish to be treated when we are dying.
