Most people delay preparing a Living Will, assuming it's something they can deal with later. Unfortunately, later often arrives sooner than expected and without a plan, critical medical decisions fall to overwhelmed family members.

Under Chapter 765, Florida Statutes, it gives doctors and loved ones specific instructions about life-prolonging procedures.
