Advance Directive for Health Care

An Advance Directive for Health Care is often referred to as a Living Will. The Advance Directive for Health Care is a statement of your intentions regarding your medical care including the maintenance or non-maintenance of artificial life support systems in circumstances involving a terminal condition with no hope of recovery. In addition, the Advance Directive for Health Care includes the name of the person you designate to be your Health Care Representative, the person who would make medical care decisions for you if you were unable to do so.
