LIVING WILL
A Living Will is an important healthcare document. It allows you to clearly spell out to your family and trusted friends EXACTLY the steps you want them to take -- and EXACTLY the steps you DO NOT want them to take -- should you become seriously ill, seriously injured, or incapacitated. Some Living Wills are better than others. In the past, Living Wills were often brief and did little more than discuss life support situations. Today, most states accept Advanced Healthcare Directives, which combine the effectiveness of a Living Will with the specificity of a Durable Healthcare Power of Attorney. Combining these documents covers nearly every situation, and allows the Principal (the person making the Living Will) to choose in advance who will make life and death healthcare decisions on his or her behalf.
