Advance Healthcare Directives in Illinois
A living will, also known as an advance directive, is a legal document that provides instructions for end-of-life care in the event that an individual becomes incapacitated and unable to make their own decisions. A living will can also be called a "medical directive" or "advance healthcare directive." A living will can be used to address issues such as artificial life support, life-sustaining medical treatments, or organ donation. It is important to have a living will in place because it can help prevent confusion over what care should be provided.
