It is my intention that this declaration be honored by my family and physician as the final expression of my legal right to refuse medical or surgical treatment and to accept the consequences for such refusal. Surrogate designation NOT COMPLETED. Florida's suggested form includes an optional surrogate line. Failure to designate a surrogate does not invalidate the living will.
