Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Illinois
My living will
Hi I have prepared a living will and
have it signed by two other people
and myself as the printed document
required. This living will was
prepared from the website
doyourproxy.org/living
will1.php
What I need to know, Is this
document legally binding? Does it
hold the same power as a will
drawn up by an attorney or law
firm? Is this a correct document
that holds legal power in Illinois, I
have it signed by two different
people. Thanks!

Re: My living will
Assuming you did everything correctly, then the will is as good as if an attorney did it.
But, if an attorney did not prepare the will and you are going by what a website told you, then I cannot vouch for the accuracy of all of the instructions. For example, I do not know if the people who signed the will followed all the procedures properly or if the language in the will does what you want it to do.
Feel free to call us if you have any questions.
