Changing Your Living Will During Pregnancy

Most people think that the time to revise their estate plan, including their health care proxy and living will is when a big change occurs: marriage, birth of a child, divorce, etc. However, as Shelly Mactyre, of The Fig Tree  points out, you may wish to change your living will or health care directive when you become pregnant to reflect any changes in your desire for extraordinary measures due to your pregnancy.
