A. Every competent adult has the right to make a written declaration commonly known as a "Living Will" (and legally known in Texas as a Directive to Physicians or Family and Surrogates). A Directive to Physician expressly states your directions regarding the withholding of life prolonging procedures in the event one should have a terminal or irreversible condition. The Texas form, which was created by statute, is very detailed and should be studied carefully before you sign it. See the FAQ regarding medical powers of attorney for an alternative.
