It provides clear instructions regarding the distribution of assets, appointment of an executor, and any specific bequests or considerations. 2. Living Will/Advance Directive: A living will outlines the Testator's preferences for medical treatment and end-of-life care, including decisions about life support, organ donation, and pain management. It is essential to respect and adhere to their expressed wishes in this regard. 3. Testamentary Trust: In certain cases, Testators opt to establish a trust within their Will.
