LIVING WILL
In addition to naming an Agent under a Power of Attorney for Health Care, many people also want to sign a Living Will. A Living Will is a written statement that gives you the right to stop or not begin medical treatment that delays your death if you have a terminal condition. The law defines a "terminal condition" as an incurable or irreversible condition where death is imminent, and the use of death delaying procedures serves only to prolong the dying process.
You do not name an Agent in a Living Will. Instead, you indicate your wishes about death delaying procedures to your doctor.
