LIVING WILL / HEALTHCARE DIRECTIVE
A living will or healthcare directive records the medical treatments you would or would not want if you cannot speak for yourself. It may address life-sustaining treatment, artificial nutrition and hydration, pain relief, comfort-focused care, and other end-of-life preferences.
This document works best when it is specific, discussed with your healthcare agent and family, and placed in your medical record. State terminology and execution requirements vary, and emergency medical orders such as POLST or MOLST are separate documents completed with a clinician.
