Create a Nevada Living Will with our customizable template!
A Nevada living will is also known as a Nevada advance directive. This legal document expresses your wishes related to medical care if you are unable to do so because of an incurable illness or injury or because of a terminal condition. Some of the medical decisions you make could be related to whether you want to use artificial nutrition, and whether you have a do-not-resuscitate order. The document is subject to Nevada law. A Nevada living will is also used to name someone to make decisions on your behalf that are related to your medical care. This person is known in a Nevada living will as a health care agent. A Nevada living will must either have witnesses or it must be notarized. There are specific laws in Nevada that determine who may and may not sign a living will as a witness. You can keep this document in a living will lockbox for safety if you'd like.
A living will is part of the estate planning process. Its purpose is to document your wishes as well as make a difficult time easier on your family members during your incapacity. However, this document does not serve the same purpose as a power of attorney, a durable power of attorney, or a health care power of attorney (also known as a medical power of attorney). If you or your loved ones are interested in a power of attorney, you should seek legal advice.
§ 449.535 through § 449.690: A Nevada living will is used to document a person’s wishes related to whether they want their physician to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatment if they are incapacitated. Declarants have the legal right to revoke the living will, and their revocation should be recorded in their medical record.
A Nevada last will and testament should also be created.
