Ohio Living Will: What Is It?

An Ohio living will enables you to express your wishes related to medical care via legal document in the event that you are unable to do do for any reason. An Ohio living will also allows you to pick someone as your attorney-in-fact. An attorney-in-fact is the person who will make your decisions during that time. There are state specific laws that limit who can act as your attorney-in-act. An Ohio living will must either be signed by two witnesses or be notarized. There are laws that explain who can and cannot sign as a witness.
