False. A living will is an advance directive that specifies a person's wishes regarding medical treatment in situations where they are unable to communicate their preferences, particularly concerning end-of-life care. The document that designates who can make decisions on behalf of a patient if they are incapacitated is called a durable power of attorney for healthcare or a healthcare proxy.
