Last Will vs Living Will
While a Last Will deals with your estate after death, a Living Will (also known as a Health Care Directive) specifies your health care preferences when you’re alive but incapacitated. When you’re incapacitated and cannot give consent, health care professionals refer to your Living Will for guidance on the treatments you may or may not want.
Last Will vs Living Trust
A Living Trust and a Last Will are both documents that control the distribution of your assets and property. However, a Living Trust does not need to go through probate, which can lower the cost and time it takes to distribute your assets after death.
