Former Kentucky Assistant County Attorney

A living will is not a will.  A will disposes of property.  However a living will allows your spouse parent or someone else to make decisions for you if you are mentally or physically unable to make these decisions.  Kentucky Statutes have made this a simple form which is in our manual and which is also downloadable from the statute site.  A living will only allows others to make health decisions for you including the right to die and to discontinue medical treatment.  it does not allow them to dispose of your property or to take care of your business because you are away or unable to.   

A power of attorney however is a way to have others make business decisions for you.  A living will allows others to make health decisions for you including the right to die and to discontinue medical treatment.  A power of attorney allows someone else to dispose or sell your property make bank deposits contracts for you and in general to run all the matters of your business while you are away or unable to.   A Durable power of attorney allows the person to make these decisions for you even if you become mentally disabled.   

If you are going to be in a nursing home or in a situation where you may be unable to manage your affairs you should consider one of these options the forms for a power of attorney are in our manual
