Living will FAQs.
Is a living will the same as a regular will?
No. A last will and testament distributes your property after death. A living will addresses your end-of-life medical treatment while you are still living: decisions about your deathbed care, made in advance.
Do I need a living will if I have a power of attorney?
They do different jobs. The living will records your own treatment decisions; the power of attorney appoints someone to act on your behalf. Together they cover both the decisions and the decision-maker.
