What is a Maine Living Will?
A Maine Living Will is a legal document that lays out your wishes with regard to health care, such as your acceptance or refusal of medical treatment, in addition to the optional appointment of a trusted decision maker.
The person making a Living Will is called the "principal," and the person or organization gaining permission to carry out the principal's wishes is called the "agent." Designed for Maine residents, this free Living Will can be used in Penobscot County, Cumberland County, York County, and in every other region in the state. Any Maine Living Will form from Rocket Lawyer can be edited to address your specific situation. This essential legal document provides a record of your preferences to healthcare providers, and it will confirm that your selected representatives have been authorized to make choices for you.
When to use a Maine Living Will:
- You're about to start drafting a complete estate plan.
- You'd like to make sure your medical treatment wishes are upheld while keeping your family informed and safeguarded.
