Living Will
A living will can either exist by itself or as part of a health care power of attorney, depending upon state law. It specifies those end-of-life actions a person would and would not like taken on his/her behalf. The situations and actions listed in a living will may range from very general to very specific.
This brief overview of some important considerations associated with living wills is by no means comprehensive. Always seek the advice of a competent professional when making important financial and legal decisions.
