description: '**Concept**\r\nA living will is a verbal or written description of the patient’s wishes with regard to future medical action or end of their life. A living will is mainly used for situations in which the patient is no longer able to speak about these decisions with their healthcare provider.\r\n**Purpose**\r\nA good overview of the patient’s wishes is important. A healthcare provider can use the living will to discuss the existing wishes with the persons involved and to incorporate these wishes in their own policy. A concise, orderly list is of particular importance in acute care situations.\r\n**Evidence Base**\r\nThe list with types of living wills was developed in close consultation with the Dutch Patient and Consumer Federation (NPCF), the Dutch Association for Voluntary End of Life (NVVE) and the Dutch Patient Organization (NPV). \r\n\r\nThe list of types matches the living wills for which the various associations offer examples on their websites.\r\n\r\n**Example Instances**'
