Fill & Sign
The Kansas Living Will is the formal way to make family members and physicians aware of what you would like to materialize when confronted with end-of-life circumstances. Basically, the form is furnished with a general statement that expresses that the declarant wishes not to receive any life-prolonging procedures when it has been determined that their condition is uncurable/irreversible. To properly implement this legal instrument, the declarant must simply insert their name, date & sign it, and have their endorsement acknowledged by two (2) witnesses or a notarial officer.
Individuals seeking to donate their organs/tissues to someone in need should register within the state’s online database by visiting the Donate Life Kansas Website.
