Many important decisions are made in the final weeks, moths, and years of a patient’s life. Therefore, it is important to be informed on advance directive documents. Advance directives help people make decisions on how they would want to be cared for if they were unable to make that decision on their own. The most common advance directive? A living will. Some advantages of a living will include giving people greater control over their life and death, promoting honest conversations with family, and preventing legal battles.
