Recent developments in the news have emphacised the importance of writing a living will.? A living will is a document that outlines one's wishes with regard to medical treatment options and care in the event of specific situations when you would not be able to express your wishes due to inability to communicate, such as a stroke or serious accident.
Every State in the U.S. and Province in Canada has specific requirements as to what a living will must contain in order to be valid.
As RV travellers,? we are even more vulnerable because we travel from one egal jurisdiction to another, with our RV usually as a couple.? In the event of a serious acciden where both are injured and cannot communicate with medical personnel, it is important this information be available.
The purpose of this discussion is to explore the various ways we can prepare for such eventualities, in making a living will, where to store it for easy access.?
How can we, as RV travellers ensure our wishes will be respected, regardless of where we travel?
Please confine the discussion to the topic at hand, and refrain from drifting into religious or political issues connected with any current cases in the news, which is outside the scope of the RV Forum.
