Living Wills (Advance Medical Directives) in Jackson, TN

A Living Will—also called an Advance Medical Directive— puts your health‑care wishes on paper so doctors and family members never have to guess. If illness or injury leaves you unable to speak, this document guides decisions about life‑support measures such as ventilators, feeding tubes, dialysis, and pain management. Tennessee hospitals rely on clear directives to honor patient autonomy, and a properly drafted Living Will eliminates confusion, conflict, and delays.

​

At the Law Office of Sara Barnett at Spragins, Barnett & Cobb, PLC, we create Tennessee‑specific Living Wills that integrate seamlessly with your Health Care Power of Attorney. During a brief, confidential meeting—either in our Jackson office or by secure video—attorney Sara Barnett walks you through common treatment scenarios and records your preferences. Your completed directive is then notarized, witnessed, and formatted to comply with state statutes, ensuring immediate acceptance by physicians and health‑care facilities.

​

Pairing your Living Will with a Health Care POA gives your chosen medical agent the legal authority to carry out the instructions you’ve outlined, sparing loved ones from agonizing decisions during a crisis. As your circumstances change—marriage, children, new diagnoses—our team stands ready to update your directive quickly and cost‑effectively.
