Important Disclaimers
**Please carefully read the following important disclaimers:

1) The North Carolina Advocates for Justice members listed in the chart on this page have agreed to provide pro bono services to assist you in completing and notarizing your "Declaration of Desire for a Natural Death."

2) Because the "Health Care Power of Attorney" is more complicated both to fill out and to explain, that is not provided free of charge; however, we encourage you to discuss your need for the power of attorney with an NC Advocates for Justice (NCAJ) member or an attorney of your choosing.

3) The NCAJ members listed in the chart on this page are not necessarily specialists in estate planning and probate law. If you feel your circumstances require specialized assistance, please consider contacting the Elder Law Clinic at Wake Forest University School of Law. Other resources include the Estate Planning and Elder Law sections of the NC Bar Association.

Members
Over the past year we have all seen the public awakening over the need to have our personal desires declared when it comes to decisions involving life sustaining measures or to allow death by the natural course of events without medical intervention. 

As part of our mission to serve the public and protect people's rights, it only seems natural that the North Carolina Advocates for Justice should offer to the public, on our website and through our members, a free "Declaration of Desire for Natural Death."**

General Information

The most important documents you need for a "living will" are the Declaration of Desire for a Natural Death and the Health Care Power of Attorney.  These two documents work together to alert family and physicians to your wishes as well as to give the person of your choosing the power over your health care decisions should you become incapable of making those decisions yourself.  The Advance Instruction for Mental Health Treatment and Organ/Tissue Donor Card are documents that some people might also wish to fill out; the Advance Instruction for Mental Health Treatment does require the presence of witnesses and a notary public and can be processed with the same lawyer you use for the "living will" documents.  For more general information on this topic, you can visit the Secretary of State's website on the Advanced Health Care Registry.
