Planning for the future can feel overwhelming, but creating a living will ensures that your medical preferences are honored, even when you can’t voice them yourself. At My Living Wishes, we empower Indiana residents with accessible, flexible, and affordable solutions for advanced healthcare directives. With no legal fees and periodic reminders to keep your plans current, we make it simple to secure peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
A living will is a legal document that outlines your preferences for medical treatment if you’re unable to communicate due to illness or injury. Unlike a last will and testament, which distributes assets after your death, a living will focuses solely on your healthcare decisions. It also differs from a healthcare power of attorney, which designates someone to make medical decisions on your behalf.
At My Living Wishes, we streamline this process, ensuring your living will is clear, easy to update, and accessible when needed.
In Indiana, anyone aged 18 or older and of sound mind can create a living will. This ensures you have the legal capacity to make decisions about your medical care.

A living will specifically addresses medical treatments you want or do not want, while a healthcare power of attorney allows you to appoint someone to make medical decisions on your behalf.
At My Living Wishes, we help you navigate the creation of these directives, ensuring your plans are comprehensive and aligned with your wishes.
