How is a Living Will different from a Will?
A Living Will gives you the choice, in advance, to decide whether your life be artificially prolonged by extraordinary measures when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery from extreme physical or mental disability. In a Living Will, you can make a declaration of a desire for a natural death or you can choose to prolong life as long as possible. A Living Will tells your friends and loved ones what you wish to happen if you are completely disabled and unable to make a decision regarding your life. A Living Will not only allows you to make the decision about how what sort of treatment will be used to prolong your life, it also frees your family from having to make that decision for you. If you wish, you can create a Living Will with PrepareCase. You will be given several options about end-of-life decisions to choose from. At the end of this process, you will print and sign the Living Will before witnesses, along with your traditional Will.
