Free Florida Living Will Form
A living will states, in advance, whether you want life-prolonging procedures if you're terminally ill, end-stage, or in a persistent vegetative state. It takes the weight off your family by putting your wishes in your own words.
Attorney-reviewed form
We'll send the current, Florida-compliant version — reviewed by our office so you don't ship an invalid one.
What it does
- States your wishes on life-prolonging treatment in end-of-life situations.
- Guides your health care surrogate and physicians.
- Can address artificial nutrition and hydration.
- Pairs with a health care surrogate designation (who decides) — this covers what you want.

Make it valid in Florida.
- In writing, signed by you in the presence of two adult witnesses (Fla. Stat. § 765.302).
- At least one witness must not be your spouse or a blood relative.
- No notary required.
- Applies only in the specific end-of-life conditions Florida defines — it isn't a general "do not treat" order.

Questions people ask
Is a living will the same as a DNR in Florida?
No. A living will states your wishes about life-prolonging treatment in end-of-life conditions. A DNR (Do Not Resuscitate Order) is a separate physician's order on a specific yellow Florida form.
Does a Florida living will need a notary?
No. It requires two adult witnesses, at least one not a spouse or blood relative (Fla. Stat. § 765.302).
Rather have it done right?
A form is only as good as how it's executed. We draft and supervise signing so it holds up when it matters — flat fee, from $150. No surprises.
