What is a Living Will? A Living Will is your written formalized instructions on what to do should you require extraordinary medical treatment, such as mechanical life support or heart resuscitation.

In Canada, anyone can make a Living Will, which is a formalized statement of your health care wishes, signed and propely witnessed. Your Living Will is binding, under the Health Care Act, on any medical practitioners who are aware of the statement. However, please note that the issue of legal validity of Living Wills is still not completely resolved.

Why you should make certain you have a Living Will:

  • You may become incapacitated suddenly by an accident, a stroke, or a serious heart attack
  • You have a need or desire to state your wishes regarding medical care, the termination of treatment, in the event the time comes when you are not able to make these decisions regarding your medical care.
  • You currently have poor physical health, a chronic illness or a terminal disease.
  • You are facing pending surgery or hospitalization
  • You work in a high risk occupation.
  • You do not wish to be kept alive by articifial life support systems.
  • You do not want to be resuscitated if your heart fails.
  • Where there is no reasonable expectation of your recovery from physical or mental disability.
If you do not have a Living Will, you may find that strangers are making decisions about your and controlling your life against your own or your families wishes.
