Death is inevitable. Leaving a load of work for your loved ones is not. The library has resources to help!
With your Denver Public Library card, you also have access to Gale Legal Forms, a database that includes forms for Power of Attorney (Durable, General, Living Wills and Trustees) and also Wills!
Additional forms and documents you might find helpful are:
- Flow Chart for helping navigate the process
- Colorado Medical Orders Scope of Treatment (MOST form)
- Directive to Withhold CPR (Colorado)
If you have additional questions about Advanced Directives, save the dates:
- Thursday, Sept 19, 2-3:30 Advanced Directives Fundamentals at Park Hill Branch Library (get your questions answered)
- Saturday, Sept 28, 2-3:30 Advanced Directives Signing Party at Park Hill Branch Library (get your forms notarized)
If you would like to join in on the philosophical discussion of death, be sure to check out:
- Death Café Events at the Library (now at TWO branch locations - Park Hill and Ross-University Hills!)
