Five Wishes

Five Wishes is the first living will that talks about your personal, emotional and spiritual needs as well as you medical wishes. It lets you choose the person you want to make health care decisions for you if you are not able to make them for yourself.

Five Wishes lets you say exactly how you wish to be treated if you get seriously ill. Five Wishes was written with the help of the The American Bar Association's Commission on the Legal Problems of the Elderly, and the nation's leading experts in end-of-life care.

If you live in Colorado, you can use Five Wishes and have the peace of mind to know that is substantially meets the state's requirements under the law. Best of all, Five Wishes is easy to use. All you have to do is check a box, circle a direction, or write a few sentences.
