End of Life Documents

Everyone – especially senior citizens – should have the following documents:

• A power of attorney, to appoint someone to look after your financial affairs if you can’t.
  
  
• A health care directive (living will) to appoint someone to make your health care decisions if you can’t. For more information on health care directives, go to the Manitoba Health website: Health Care Directive also known as "The Living Will"
  
  
• A funeral plan that indicates what you want to happen when you die.
  
  Here is a funeral plan that you can complete (Word file, download and open in Word)
  
  
• A will, to dispose of your property after you die.
  
  
• An organ donation card.

For more information on wills and estates, power of attorney, and health care directives go to A Legal Information Guide for Seniors.
