Silver Mangoes' clear, comprehensive and actionable new Living Will Guide is designed to help individuals and families understand both the necessity of having a living will and how to create one that will protect end-of-life quality and create guidelines for the palliative care that is provided in the case of unexpected severe illness.

Silver Mangoes was founded by Dr Luis Pagan-Carlo, who has seen that, sadly, while many people think of making a will to protect their family once they have passed on, they do not think about creating a living will. That is, a will that can protect both their right to live and pass away on their own terms, and to protect their family’s right to make decisions regarding their care and to access their estate in order to provide for that care.
As the doctor explained in his own words, “Who ultimately has the power to say what should be done to you medically? You, of course. It’s your body and your life. But this very important option is not available to you if you are unable to communicate. Sadly, this is the case for millions of people, but it doesn’t have to be this way.”
As Dr Pagan-Carlo stressed, many people are left unable to communicate after an unexpected medical event or an unexpected severe illness, and if there is no advanced healthcare directive to inform their medical team about the care they want and don’t want to receive, they can find their suffering prolonged.
Dr Pagan-Carlo founded Silver Mangoes because he has seen that many Americans do not understand what happens at one’s end of life. While he understands that it is a sombre and sobering thought, by planning for one’s end-of-life decisions through a living will and advanced healthcare directive—including appointing medical power of attorney to a loved one—one can be sure that they will both live and die with dignity.
The doctor added, “It seems that we are never prepared for the unexpected, but the sad fact is, if you can’t decide, someone else will decide for you. That’s why it is so important to have a simple advanced healthcare directive, so if the unexpected happens, you or your loved ones never have to worry.”
The full report is now available on the Silver Mangoes website, as is Dr. Pagan-Carlo’s bestselling book ‘Your Life’s Choice’.
