2003-12-10 15:47:00-05:00 - AARP Bulletin Today
You can obtain a form to create your living will
from your local hospital, or you can download a
form specific to your state from the websites of
the U.S. Living Will Registry and the Partnership
for Caring. You also can create your living will
using an online tool or software. Additionally,
many of these tools help you create a durable
medical power of attorney. Here are a few options:
