Living will

DEFINITION

A Living Will (often called an Advance Directive) is a legal document that specifies the type of medical care you would want if you were no longer able to make decisions for yourself.

Why it matters

In the digital age, this concept extends to a „Digital Living Will,“ which defines how your data and online presence should be handled if you are in a coma or permanently incapacitated, not just after death. ➜ Digital Living Will
