A living will is a legal document that outlines your wishes for medical treatment in the event that you become incapacitated and unable to make decisions for yourself. It typically includes instructions for end-of-life care, such as whether or not you want to be kept on life support. It can also include instructions for other types of medical treatment, such as whether or not you want to receive pain medication or undergo certain procedures. The living will is not a legal binding but a guide to your healthcare providers and loved ones to follow.
