We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Can a family member revoke a living will?

Keep in mind that you can always change your Living Will for any reason, at any time, by revoking it. To do so, you will have to do more than tear up your existing document. It remains a legally binding document until it is formally revoked. You are the only person who can change or revoke your Living Will.

In what three ways can a will be revoked?

You can revoke, revise, or create a new living will at any time. However, simply destroying the old copy complicates the connection it may have to other estate planning documents or files. A qualified estate planning attorney can help you fully and formally revoke or modify this document correctly.

Who can override a living will?

Ultimately, your medical doctor is responsible for your course of treatment. They technically do not have to follow your living will; however, most doctors will do so. However, in an emergency, your doctors choice may override your living will if they feel an ethical obligation to the Hippocratic oath.

Can my family override my living will?

In short, no, your family cannot override your Living Will. Your Living Will is a legal document thats meant to guide medical professionals (and your family!) about medical decisions.

How do you get rid of a living will?

It is tough to contest a will. Courts view a will as the voice of the person who wrote it. This person is known as the testator when alive and the decedent once they die. Because the testator cannot express or clarify their wishes after death, courts adhere closely to the text of the will.
