Living Will

What is a living will?

A Living Will is a document that specifies a person’s choices of life-sustaining treatment to be received should the need arise.

Unlike a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, a Living Will normally does not allow for the appointment of an individual to make health care decisions.
