Living Will Lawyers in Pennsylvania: Plan Ahead with Caputo & Mariotti

Most people don’t want to think about what could happen if they ever lost the ability to speak for themselves. But the truth is, planning ahead is one of the most powerful and compassionate things you can do—for yourself and for the people you love.

At Caputo & Mariotti, we work with individuals and families across Pennsylvania to create living wills that are legally strong, medically clear, and deeply personal. Because when the unexpected happens, your voice still matters—and we’re here to make sure it’s heard.

What Is a Living Will?

A living will is a legal document that lays out your healthcare preferences in case you’re ever unable to communicate them on your own. It answers difficult questions, like:

• Should life support be used, and under what circumstances?
  
• Do you want CPR or other resuscitation efforts?
  
• What are your wishes regarding feeding tubes or hydration?
  
• What kind of pain management do you prefer?
  
• Are you open to organ donation?
  

It’s not about making assumptions. It’s about making decisions—with clarity, while you still can.

Why Work with a Lawyer for Your Living Will?

There are plenty of generic forms online. But this is about more than checking boxes—it’s about protecting your values. Here’s why working with a living will lawyer from Caputo & Mariotti makes a real difference:

Local Law Matters

Every state has its own rules. We know Pennsylvania law inside and out—and we make sure your document holds up exactly where it matters.

No Room for Confusion

We help you craft language that’s clear to doctors, hospitals, and your family—so there’s no second-guessing in moments that are already hard enough.

Part of a Bigger Plan

Your living will doesn’t exist in a vacuum. We’ll make sure it aligns with your healthcare proxy, power of attorney, or broader estate plan if you have one—or help you build one from scratch.

When Should You Create One?

Sooner than you think.

Many people assume living wills are only for the elderly or seriously ill. But anyone over 18 should have one. Life happens—car accidents, surgeries, sudden illness. Having your preferences in place means your loved ones don’t have to make impossible decisions on your behalf.

At Caputo & Mariotti, we’ve helped countless clients in Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, and throughout Northeast Pennsylvania get this done the right way—with compassion, clarity, and care.
