What is the difference between Living Will, Will, and Power of Attorney (POA) documents? 📝 These are legal documents that allow a person to state what they want for themselves and their estate. In the case of caregivers, it's important to understand what documents their care recipient might need depending on their situation. Living Will: Used while a care recipient is living, this takes effect near the very end of life. The care recipient has instructions for their doctor and healthcare team about their wishes at the end of their life. Will: Used after a care recipient has passed away. The care recipient states what they would like done with their estate. Power of Attorney: Used while a care recipient is living and needs help. The care recipient names a friend or family member they trust to make decisions about their healthcare and finances. Was this information helpful to know?
