How Are Living Wills Used in 2026?
A living will is one example of an estate planning document that can be used to formally record your desires regarding the medical care you wish to receive – or not receive – in specific situations. It is a type of advanced medical directive that can be used to give instructions to your medical providers as well as to any person you have appointed to make medical decisions on your behalf.
