Kansas Living Will Form |
The Kansas living will is a legal document that shall allow an individual (Principal) to outline in advance and while they are of sound mind, their final wishes with regard to their medical care should the Principal find that they are no longer able to communicate their wishes on their own due to any sort of illness, injury or disease. In the state of Kansas, this document is considered a legal statement from the individual and no health care representative is necessary unless stated by the Principal. This document will, however, require the signatures of two witnesses or must be notarized.
