The Essential Guide to Preparing Your Living Will

A living will is a legal document that provides your family, doctors and health care providers with instructions for your health care and ensures that your wishes are followed—even if you are unable to speak for yourself. In the case of terminal illness, critical injury or permanent unconsciousness, a living will expresses your refusal of, or desire for, specific medical treatments.
