Wills Lawyer in Wilmington NC
Living Will is the “nickname” for a Declaration of a Desire for a Natural Death. This is a document allowed under North Carolina law that allows a person to direct their physician to discontinue prolonging their life once their condition is terminal, incurable, and they would pass away immediately without extraordinary measures.
The format we use is approved by the North Carolina statute that authorizes Living Wills.
Generally at Calder Law we prompt this discussion while considering a Will or Trust and Power of Attorney. If we prepare your Living Will at the same time we prepare your Will or Trust and Power of Attorney, we charge a slightly lower fee.
