Living Wills
A Living Will, also known as a Physician's Directive, is a separate document from a Will. The difference between a Will and a Living Will is that the Living Will dictates how you will be cared for while you are still alive and a Will dictates funeral arrangements and how your assets will be divided after you pass away.
By means of a Living Will you decide in advance what medical care and treatment you receive if you ever become unable to specify those wishes yourself. For example, you can designate whether you wish to be kept on life prolonging machines if there is no longer any hope that you will recover from an accident or long-term terminal medical condition, whether or not you want food or hydration, whether or not you want medication to make you more comfortable and other decisions of this nature. Wouldn't it be better for you to make these decisions while you are able to instead of forcing your family to make them when you can't?
