What is The Difference Between a Living Will And a Healthcare Power of Attorney?

Understanding the nuances between a healthcare power of attorney and a living will is essential for effective estate planning. A living will is a legal tool that details your medical treatment preferences if you become unable to voice them. This document focuses on end-of-life decisions, such as the use of life-sustaining treatments in particular situations.

Alternatively, should you become incapacitated, a healthcare power of attorney appoints a trusted individual, known as an agent or proxy, to make medical decisions for you. This document is broader in scope than a living will, as it covers a wide range of healthcare matters beyond just end-of-life scenarios. The appointed agent can interpret and act upon your healthcare wishes, ensuring they are respected across different medical situations.

At Kirschner Rychlick PLLC, we emphasize the importance of having both documents in your estate plan. We can help ensure that your living will and healthcare power of attorney are properly drafted to reflect your desires and comply with Washington state laws. By having these documents in place, you provide clear guidance to healthcare providers and loved ones, reducing the risk of conflicts and ensuring that your medical care aligns with your values and preferences.
