Living Wills/Health Care Powers of Attorney

Consumer information pamphlet from the Pennsylvania Bar Association.

It is important that every person in Pennsylvania over the age of 18 have some form of advance directive so that if a medical  situation arises in which the process of dying is being needlessly prolonged, his or her advocate will follow his or her previously stated wishes as to end-of-life medical care.
