A Living Will is a legal document that states your wishes for end of life care, in the event that you will be unable to communicate for yourself. Living Wills usually include what forms of medical intervention you consider acceptable and unacceptable, and in what conditions you would want to be removed from life-prolonging equipment. This is not the same as Power of Attorney, as it does not designate a separate person to make decisions for you - instead it is a document that clearly states your wishes in advance.
