A Revocable Living Will is one form of Advanced Directive. Other names for a Living Will are a "medical directive" or "medical declaration." A Living Will instructs your physician to administer no life-sustaining procedures should two physicians agree that you are terminally ill or permanently unconscious.
Being terminally ill generally means that you have less than six months to live. If you do not want artificial nutrition or hydration, the law requires that you say so in your document.
