A Living Will, legally known as an Advance Medical Directive, is a document in which you record, in advance, what kind of medical treatment you do or do not want if you are ever unable to communicate your wishes for instance, if you are in a terminal condition, an irreversible coma, or a persistent vegetative state. It allows your voice to be heard even when you cannot speak for yourself, and ensures your family and doctors are not left guessing at a difficult time.
In India, the right to execute a Living Will was recognised by the Supreme Court, and the process for creating one was later simplified in 2023. At Legal Assure, we guide you through every step from drafting the document in clear, legally sound language to arranging witnesses and notarisation so that your directive is valid, respected and ready when it matters most.
