It depends on your state, and either way you should make sure to give copies to friends/relatives in case they need to decide and haven’t yet gone through your desk drawers.
In my state you need to use specific forms for it to be legally binding. I made a google doc and called that good enough, because I hope my family would follow my wishes without needing to be forced legally (and also I am lazy).

You can write a living will with that info! That way if you ever get in an accident your family and doctors will know your wishes.

He did wake up. He’s mentally incapacitated but not in a coma.

Wow, thank you for the heads up. What an awful thing to have to consider.
