For clear, understandable forms and instructions, consult the following:

- www.halt.org a well established do-it-yourself legal resource, offering both informative literature and free downloadable forms.
- www.nhpco.org, click on Advance Directives to download state specific forms without charge. Also offers related information and articles. To access free forms click "Learn about end-of-life care" and then click on "Advance Care Planning/Advance Directives Living Wills".
- http://www.legalforms.com is an excellent source for law summary and downloadable forms for all states at nominal cost.
In addition, you can obtain reputable software at a cost, such as Quicken WillMaker Plus. It will assist you in preparing a living will. The drawback to this solution is that the living will then is subject to your computer’s availability. If you are involved in an emergency situation 1,000 miles from your computer, the living will may not be available to those that need it.
Another excellent source of information is: “How to Write Your Own Living Will” by Edward A. Haman. An Internet search will provide various sources to obtain the book.
