What’s the Difference Between a Living Will and Advanced Healthcare Directive?

While a living will outlines your specific medical treatment preferences, an advanced directive may also include a healthcare power of attorney—naming someone to make decisions on your behalf. The right attorney will help you structure both with clarity and care.
