WAT IS A LIVING WILL AND WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

Living wills outline personal preferences for medical care following sudden illnesses, severe injuries and other maladies. These wills traditionally exist in writing. Once activated,family members and relatives may not override the decisions set forth by individuals in their living wills should specified medical emergencies arise. Living wills essentially guard the wishes of those completing them. They commonly cover topics such as resuscitation, dialysis, feeding,breathing tubes, palliative care and lifesaving medications.
While some people complete living wills themselves, some individuals create wills authorizing others to make medical decisions on their behalf. These wills, called power of attorney, grant legal and medical experts decision-making power following unforeseen medical situations. They might also appoint a healthcare agent, such as spouse or family member, to make medical decisions for the individual in emergency situations.
