What Is a Directive to Physician?

A Directive to Physician—commonly called a Living Will—is a legal document that lets you express your medical treatment preferences if you’re facing a terminal or irreversible condition and cannot communicate. It allows you to make your wishes known now, so your loved ones and doctors don’t have to make impossible choices later.



In Texas, this directive offers peace of mind for both you and your family. It clarifies your position on life-sustaining treatments and provides clear guidance when emotions run high and time is limited.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does a Directive override my Medical POA?

    No. They work together. The directive outlines your treatment preferences, while your Medical POA names the person who carries them out.


  • Can I update or revoke my directive?

    Yes. You may change or cancel it at any time as long as you are mentally competent.

  • Is this only for the elderly or terminally ill?

    Not at all. Adults of any age can benefit from documenting their wishes in advance—before a medical crisis occurs.
