Colorado Springs Living Wills Attorney

Give Yourself a Voice—Even When You Can't Speak

Key Takeaway

A living will lets you make important medical decisions ahead of time, so your wishes are clear if you’re ever unable to communicate them. We help you create a document that reflects your values and gives your loved ones guidance during difficult moments.

Insight from a Boulder County Estate Planning Lawyer

Unlike a typical will, a living will is a document that gives specific details on your medical care and end-of-life preferences. This document will come into play when the creator is unable to provide any consent or is no longer competent enough to make decisions on their own, such as being in a coma or suffering a brain injury. Creating a living will can be very important for individuals who have preferences on the type of medical care they do or do not want in emergency situations. Not only does this give you peace of mind, but it also eases the burden on your loved ones having to make difficult medical decisions.

How the Colorado Medical Treatment Decision Act Impacts You

The Colorado Medical Treatment Decision Act allows competent adults to freely declare whether or not certain life-sustaining procedures should be withheld or withdrawn from them if they could no longer communicate their wishes.

Some of the provisions you can list in your living will include preferences on:

  • “Do-not-resuscitate” (DNR) orders
  • Any type of procedures that prolong the dying process
  • Life-prolonging medical care, such as CPR, drugs, or surgery
  • Palliative care, which is used to reduce pain
  • Basic food and water (the use of feeding tube)

You can declare whether or not you would like to avoid or include any of these medical procedures in your living will so that your preferences are clear and straightforward. It is important to make sure you understand how your decisions will not only affect yourself, but your family and loved ones as well. Discussing your living will with them may be a good option to avoid confusion or hurt in the future.
