Planning for your healthcare needs is just as vital as safeguarding your financial assets. In Florida, living wills and healthcare directives empower you to retain control over medical treatment choices if you’re ever unable to communicate. At Smith Cors Law, we believe in taking a proactive approach to healthcare planning, helping you create clear, legally sound documents that reflect your personal values.
A living will—also called an advance directive—spells out what kind of life-sustaining treatments or interventions you do or do not want if you have a terminal condition, an end-stage condition, or are in a persistent vegetative state. A healthcare surrogate designation (healthcare directive) allows you to name someone to make medical decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated.
✅ Living Will
✅ Health Care Surrogate (Designation of Health Care Surrogate)
✅ Do Not Resuscitate Order (DNRO)
Circumstances can change. Whether you’ve been diagnosed with a new medical condition, experienced a major life event, or simply refined your personal beliefs, it’s wise to revisit and potentially update your living will or healthcare directive. Many individuals review these documents alongside regular estate planning updates to ensure consistency.
We provide comprehensive healthcare planning services, guiding you through each step:
Our legal team is ready to answer your questions and guide you forward.
