NWT Living Will

Make sure that your family and your doctor know your wishes for end-of-life treatment in the event that you become physically or mentally incapacitated, with this Living Will form for the Northwest Territories.

A Living Will is an advance medical directive. It allows you the opportunity to set out your wishes regarding what types of medical treatment you want or don't want, in the event that you are diagnosed with a terminal condition or are in a coma with no real chance of recovery. If you wish, you can also appoint someone as your proxy to give consent and make medical decisions on your behalf.

The form also includes:

• Declaration of Incapacity forms,
• information and instructions to help you complete the form.

This Northwest Territories Living Will form is a downloadable MS Word file, which is easy to fill in and print. No need to buy separate copies for each family member. You can use this form over again as often as you like.
