New York Health Care Proxy

Living wills are legal documents that designate a healthcare surrogate to make important medical decisions on your behalf in the event that you become incapacitated. For example, if you are involved in a serious car accident in the future and fall into a coma, you won't be able to make decisions regarding medical procedures or life-support. Do you know who will make those decisions on your behalf? If you create a living will, you will know that these decisions will be made by someone you trust.
