Guest guest Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 no, you do not need a lawyer...you can obtain the forms online. I don't have a web site for you, but I'll look. You do need witness signatures and you can appoint a power of attorney (POA) just for health separate from your POA for everything else. (finances, assets) I know bc beck did this on her own. tracy In a message dated 5/4/2007 11:51:52 A.M. Central Daylight Time, sunshine9573@... writes: Do I need a lawyer to do my living will?

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Simone, It depends on what state you're in. Is the purpose for financial matters, or health care?...Both?

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Simone, In Massachusetts there is no provision for a living will. Two witnesses are required for a health care proxy. The Massachusetts Health Care Society offers free information and forms at their web site. http://www.massmed.org/AM/Template.cfm?
