A living will
There are also two documents, known as a living will and a health care proxy, which you should seriously consider. A living will lets your family and healthcare providers know what kind of treatment or rehabilitation you’d want if you were to be stricken with an illness or injury so severe that you were no longer able to communicate your wishes and make your decisions known. The health care proxy gives the person you name the right to authorize the treatment you would have wanted.
