Wisconsin Living Will Declaration  

Wisconsin Declaration to Physicians (Living Will) with Organ Donation Provision
 
The Wisconsin State Statutes created two forms of advance directives for health care: the Declaration to Physicians also known as a Living Will and a Power of Attorney for Health Care.
 
The Wisconsin Declaration to Physicians is designed to help you communicate your wishes about medical treatment at some time in the future when you are unable to make your wishes known because of illness or injury. These wishes are usually based on personal values.
 
The Declaration means a written, witnessed document voluntarily executed by the Declarant under State law but is not limited in form or substance to that provided in State Statute.
 
The withholding or withdrawal of any medication, life-sustaining procedure or feeding tube may not be made if the attending physician advises that doing so will cause pain or reduce comfort and the pain or discomfort cannot be alleviated through pain relief measures.
 
You are responsible for notifying your attending physician of the existence of the declaration. An attending physician who is notified shall make the declaration part of your medical records. A declaration that is in its original form or is a legible photocopy or electronic facsimile copy is presumed to be valid.
 
Procedures for signing Declarations
 
A declaration must be signed by the declarant in the presence of 2 witnesses. Witnesses must be at least 18 years of age, not related to you by:
  • blood,
  • marriage or adoption and
  • not directly financially responsible for your health care,
  • a health care provider who is serving you at the time the document is signed,
  • an employee of the health care provider, other than a chaplain or a social worker, or an employee, other than a chaplain or social worker, of an inpatient health care facility in which you are a patient.
Witnesses may also not be persons who know they are entitled to or have a claim on any portion of your estate.
 
Valid witnesses acting in good faith are immune from civil or criminal liability.
 
If the declarant is physically unable to sign a declaration, the declaration must be signed in the declarant’s name by one of the witnesses or some other person at the declarant’s express direction and in his or her presence; such a proxy signing shall either take place or be acknowledged by the declarant in the presence of 2 witnesses.
 
Effect of Declaration
 
The desires of a qualified patient who is competent supersede the effect of the declaration at all times. If a qualified patient is incompetent at the time of the decision to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining procedures or feeding tubes a declaration executed under this chapter is presumed to be valid.
 
Revocation of Declaration
 
The Wisconsin Declaration to Physicians may be revoked at any time by the declarant by any of the following methods:
  1. By being canceled, defaced, obliterated, burned, torn or otherwise destroyed by the declarant or by some person who is directed by the declarant and who acts in the presence of the declarant.
  2. By a written revocation of the declarant expressing the intent to revoke signed and dated by the declarant.
  3. By a verbal expression by the declarant of his or her intent to revoke the declaration, but only if the declarant or a person acting on behalf of the declarant notifies the attending physician of the revocation.
  4. By executing a subsequent declaration.
If you have both a Declaration to Physicians and a Power of Attorney for Health Care, the provisions of a valid Power of Attorney for Health Care supersede any directly conflicting provisions of a valid Declaration to Physicians.
 
You should make relatives and friends aware that you have signed the document and the location where it is kept. A signed form may be kept in a safe, easily accessible place until needed. The document may but is not required to be filed for safekeeping, for a fee, with the register in probate of your county of residence. The fee for this has been set by State Statute at $8.00.
 
If there is something you do not understand about this Wisconsin Living Will Declaration you should consult an attorney.
 
Before signing this Wisconsin Declaration to Physicians (Living Will) you need to discuss your treatment with your physician in as many details as possible, and consider types of treatments that you want/do not want to be performed for you when you are unable to express your wishes because of your illness. Please make sure to state clearly particular treatments you want or do not want.
