Important: We are not attorneys

Michigan Benefit Services & Family Care, LLC and its insurance professionals are not attorneys and are not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice, and we cannot help you complete, interpret, or choose these forms. These forms are provided free as a courtesy only. They are publicly available documents published by the State of Michigan and Michigan organizations, and we did not write or change their content.

Using these forms does not create an attorney-client relationship with anyone. Laws change, and every family's situation is different. We strongly recommend you speak with a licensed Michigan attorney before signing any legal document. For help finding one, contact the State Bar of Michigan Lawyer Referral Service or Michigan Legal Help.

  • Your patient advocate must sign the acceptance section

Living Will

A written statement of your wishes about life-sustaining treatment. Michigan law does not formally recognize living wills, but one can guide your family and doctors and support your patient advocate.

  • Best used together with a health care power of attorney
  • Share it with your patient advocate and doctors
  • Review it every few years
