Advance directives are documents that allow individuals to state what measures should or should not be taken to prolong life when their conditions are terminal.
A living will, personal directive, advance directive, medical directive, or advance decision, also known as an advance healthcare directive, is a legal document in which a person specifies what actions should be taken for their health if they are no longer able to make decisions for themselves due to illness or incapacity. It has legal standing in the United States, whereas in some other countries it is legally persuasive without being a legal document.
A living will is one type of advance directive that includes treatment instructions. Another type of power of attorney or health care proxy is one in which the person authorizes someone (an agent) to make decisions on their behalf if they become incapacitated. People are often encouraged to complete both documents in order to provide comprehensive care guidance, though they can be combined into a single form. The Five Wishes in the United States is an example of a combination document. The term "living will" is also widely used in many countries, particularly the United Kingdom.
