We can prepare a Living Will (also known as an Advanced Decision) for you and explain its full nature and effect. A living Will is often referred to as an 'advanced decision' or 'advance directive.'
A Living Will (aka, an Advanced Decision to Refuse Treatment) is a legal document which enables a person to express wishes about future medical treatment and is designed to take effect when the person is unable to communicate these wishes. If you’re worried about having no control over the type of medical treatment you receive in the future, then you may want to make a Living Will.
Our solicitors can help you make a Living Will to provide peace of mind and reassurances for your future. Call us today or fill out our contact form for expert legal advice on Living Wills.

It was a delightful to work with you and we will certainly come to you again for legal work.
We would recommend you to anyone as we were highly satisfied.
We have come across other legal teams and seen how their services have worked and we would highly recommend Crombie Wilkinson as they are competent and approachable in their services.
Everything was explained clearly and as a first time buyer I found this particularly helpful.
Have huge confidence in Crombies, always listen, always act.
Having had previous property related work completed in a prompt and satisfactory manner we were more than happy to approach your company for further work on our behalf.
Your firm did an excellent job meeting my expectations at a sensible cost.
You are available for the client, you communicate with the client, you do this within 24-48 hours, we feel safe with you because of this.
Our solicitor, secretary and the reception staff all excellent service.
Quick and easy, I have already recommended a friend, they are also using you to buy a house.
Your patience and support has been much appreciated. You helped me through a very difficult, frustrating time but I am already settled in my new home and the children all feel happy there, in fact they have hardly left!!
Everyone was so friendly, we were soon put at ease.
Immediate attention and sunny disposition, caring, nothing was too much. Levels of service are perfect, no improvement necessary.
I was very pleased with Crombie Wilkinson. I will in future always go back with any problems I may have.
