Living Wills and Advance Directives – Denver, CO

Your voice matters, even if you can’t speak for yourself. A living will—also known as an advance directive—lets you document your healthcare preferences in advance. At MMK Law, we work with individuals and families across the Denver area to draft clear, legally sound living wills that give loved ones peace of mind and protect your autonomy.

What Is a Living Will?

A living will outlines your wishes regarding life-sustaining medical treatments in situations where you are unable to communicate or make decisions due to a terminal illness or injury. It can include instructions about:

  • Artificial nutrition and hydration
  • Ventilator or respiratory support
  • Pain relief preferences
  • End-of-life care decisions

We also help clients create Medical Durable Powers of Attorney, which allow someone you trust to make medical decisions on your behalf if you’re incapacitated.

Why It's Important to Have These Documents

Without a living will or medical POA in place, your loved ones may struggle with uncertainty or face legal hurdles when trying to make decisions for you. These documents:

  • Reduce confusion and family conflict
  • Provide clarity for healthcare providers
  • Ensure your values are respected

Who Needs One?

Advance directives are helpful for:

  • Young adults heading to college or the workforce
  • Individuals undergoing surgery or managing chronic conditions
  • Older adults planning ahead for peace of mind
