INTRODUCTION TO YOUR KENTUCKY ADVANCE HEALTH CARE DIRECTIVE This packet contains a Kentucky Living Will Directive (or ?Advance Directive?), which protects your right to refuse medical treatment you do not want or to request treatment you do want in the event you lose the ability to make decisions yourself.

The Kentucky Living Will Directive Act of 1994 was passed to ensure that citizens have the right to make decisions regarding their own medical care, including the right to accept or refuse treatment.

Life-Prolonging Procedures Declaration: This document is the opposite of a living will. You can use this document if you want all life-prolonging medical treatments used to extend your life.

Kentucky law requires your living will directive to be witnessed by two adults or notarized. Neither the witnesses nor the notary public may be your blood relative, your physician or anyone directly responsible for financing your health care.

Cost of a Living Will The cost of creating a living will in Kentucky can vary depending on the approach you choose. If you engage an attorney, costs can range from $200 to $500, depending on the complexity of your situation and the attorney's fees. However, there are more cost-effective options available.

No, in Kentucky, you do not need to notarize your will to make it legal. However, Kentucky allows you to make your will "self-proving" and you'll need to go to a notary if you want to do that. A self-proving will speeds up probate because the court can accept the will without contacting the witnesses who signed it.
