Free Florida Living Will Form

A living will states, in advance, whether you want life-prolonging procedures if you're terminally ill, end-stage, or in a persistent vegetative state. It takes the weight off your family by putting your wishes in your own words.

What it does

— Florida requirements

Make it valid in Florida.

  • In writing, signed by you in the presence of two adult witnesses (Fla. Stat. § 765.302).
  • At least one witness must not be your spouse or a blood relative.
  • No notary required.
  • Applies only in the specific end-of-life conditions Florida defines — it isn't a general "do not treat" order.

How to fill it out

  1. 1
    State your treatment wishes
    Decide about life-prolonging procedures, including artificial nutrition and hydration.
  2. 2
    Name who should be consulted
    Often the same person as your health care surrogate.
  3. 3
    Sign before two qualifying witnesses
    At least one witness must be unrelated and not your spouse.
  4. 4
    Distribute copies
    Give copies to your surrogate, physician, and family so it's found when it matters.

Mistakes that void it

Questions people ask

Is a living will the same as a DNR in Florida?
No. A living will states your wishes about life-prolonging treatment in end-of-life conditions. A DNR (Do Not Resuscitate Order) is a separate physician's order on a specific yellow Florida form.
Does a Florida living will need a notary?
No. It requires two adult witnesses, at least one not a spouse or blood relative (Fla. Stat. § 765.302).

Rather have it done right?

A form is only as good as how it's executed. We draft and supervise signing so it holds up when it matters — flat fee, from $150. No surprises.
