Living Will? What is that? Do I need one? People often confuse living wills with last wills and testaments. In fact, even if an individual knows the difference, both documents can be confusing and are often filled out incorrectly. Although both documents are important, they are very different. Most people know what a last will and testament is and that is the one they are typically thinking of when they say, "living will". A living will is called a Utah Advance Healthcare Directive. We are big fans of this document. In general, it does four things: Part I: Allows you to name another person to make health care decisions for you when you cannot make decisions or speak for yourself. Part II: Allows you to record your wishes about health care in writing. Part III: Tells you how to revoke or change this directive. Part IV: Makes your directive legal.
