WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LIVING WILL AND A HEALTHCARE PROXY?

In a healthcare proxy you appoint a person to make decisions for you in the event you are unable to do so. In a living will you do not appoint an agent but state what sorts of treatments/procedures should be given or withheld under certain circumstances. Your living will should be consistent with the wishes you expressed to your healthcare agent.
