Florida Advance Directive
Florida Living Will Generator
In Florida, sign your living will in the presence of two witnesses — at least one of whom is not your spouse or a blood relative.
Living will requirements in Florida
Florida's living will is governed by Chapter 765 of the Florida Statutes. It lets you direct whether life-prolonging procedures should be provided, withheld, or withdrawn if you have a terminal condition, end-stage condition, or persistent vegetative state.
Florida requires two subscribing witnesses, and at least one of them must not be your spouse or a blood relative. Notarization is not required.
Florida also lets you designate a health care surrogate; many residents combine both documents so someone can speak for them and your wishes are on record.
Reference: Florida Statutes §765.302. This is general educational information, not legal advice — confirm current Florida requirements before signing.
