Re: Living Wills
In Illinois, a Living Will must be witnessed by two individuals who are over the age of 18.
Such witnesses should not have an interest in the estate of the declarant, and should not be financially responsible for the declarant's medical care.
A Living Will does not have to be notarized.
This answer does not constitute legal advice. Please consult an attorney who can review further questions/issues specific to your particular situation prior to executing a Living Will.
