Michigan Living Will Template (Word + PDF)

Write down your end-of-life wishes so your patient advocate has something to stand on.

Michigan has no living-will statute, but a written statement of your wishes is powerful evidence — and it is what your patient advocate needs to make “clear and convincing” end-of-life decisions under your Patient Advocate Designation. This template records your treatment preferences, comfort-care choices, and personal instructions in plain language.

What’s included

• Living Will (Declaration of End-of-Life Wishes) template
• Treatment and comfort-care preference sections
• Faith and personal instruction sections
• Optional two-witness and notary blocks for evidentiary strength

Signing requirements in Michigan

No witnesses or notary are required by statute; the optional witness block strengthens the document. Sign your Patient Advocate Designation separately under its own two-witness rule.
