Living will. A living will is a written, legal document that spells out medical treatments you would and would not want to be used to keep you alive, as well as your preferences for other medical decisions, such as pain management or organ donation. In determining your wishes, think about your values.
A living will tells your health care provider what types of treatment you want or don't want should you become incapacitated.However, another type of advance directive a medical power of attorney puts these decisions in someone else's hands.
