Last Will and Testament VS Living Will

Last Will and Testament – Is a document that will allow one (a testator) to complete this document as a standard will. The Testator may use this document to provide a written record of the Testator’s wishes and instructions as to how the Testator would like their selected executor to distribute their estate after the Testator’s dies. If the Testator would like to provide powers to an executor, this may be done within this form. The executor is obligated to ensure that the instructions outlined by the testator, are carried out as stated within the document.  This document may be changed or revoked at the will of the principal.

Living Will – Or an“Advance Directive is designed for any person (Principal), while they are of sound mind, to be able to clearly provide an outline of the medical treatment options that they would prefer, once they reach end of life circumstances, that would most likely prevent the Principal from any longer communicating their wishes. The document is most generally implemented only after two physicians have determined that there will be no chance that the Principal will, ever again, be able to communicate their wishes.

This document will allow the Principal to select a health care agent. Their agent must clearly understand that they must ensure that the Principal’s advance instructions are to be honored as stated. The form may be revoked at any time.
