What is a Living Will?
A Living Will, which is also known as an Advance Health Care Directive, is a document you sign that instructs your attending physician not to keep you alive with artificial measures if you become permanently unconscious. In other words, if you suffer from a terminal illness or catastrophic physical trauma that permanently reduces your brain activity to a vegetative state, with no possibility of recovery, the living will expresses your desire not to be kept alive under such circumstances.

Although these documents are called living "wills" they have nothing to do with your last will and testament. The last will and testament is for passing your property to the people you choose after your death. The living will, on the other hand, expresses your desires about your medical care near the end of your life. If you are you looking for a Last Will And Testament, click on the underlined text.
