What is a living will vs healthcare directive?
Quick Answer
A living will documents your end-of-life medical wishes (life support, resuscitation, feeding tubes); a healthcare directive (also called a healthcare proxy or healthcare power of attorney) names a person to make medical decisions when you can't.
