What Our Legal Guidance Covers
From understanding your rights to finalising your directive — we handle every legal step.
Our legal team drafts a clear, personalised Advance Medical Directive that accurately reflects your wishes and meets all legal requirements.
We ensure full compliance with the Supreme Court's 2018 ruling and the 2023 simplified procedure — including correct witnessing and notarisation.
We help you identify and formally appoint a trusted guardian who will uphold your documented wishes if you are ever unable to communicate.
No confusing legal jargon. We explain your rights, options, and the process in simple, honest language — so you can make truly informed decisions.
Your circumstances change. We guide you through amending or revoking your directive at any time, following the same legally compliant process.
We offer remote video consultations and coordinate all legal steps for Non-Resident Indians and families located outside Hyderabad.
The Legal Framework in India
Understanding the law that protects your right to decide.
In Common Cause v. Union of India (9 March 2018), the Supreme Court recognised the right to die with dignity under Article 21, legalising Advance Medical Directives and permitting passive euthanasia — the withdrawal of life support when there is no reasonable hope of recovery.
On 24 January 2023, the Supreme Court simplified the original procedure. The Judicial Magistrate countersignature requirement was removed. A directive now requires your signature, two independent witnesses, and attestation by a notary or gazetted officer — making the process accessible to any Indian family.
A Living Will covers healthcare decisions only — not property or assets. It is completely separate from a property will under the Indian Succession Act. Both documents serve different purposes, and you may need both.
