What does it consist of?

The living will, also known as an advance directive, is a notarial instrument that allows a person to formally and legally express their wishes regarding medical treatments and care they wish to receive, as well as the final disposition of their body, in the event that they are in a situation of serious illness or incapacity to make decisions for themselves.

This document ensures that the individual's preferences and wishes are respected in critical health moments, guaranteeing that the actions they truly desire for their well-being and dignity are carried out.

It is important to note that a living will does not refer to the distribution of assets like a common will, but rather focuses on medical and personal matters.
