A "living will" is not a legal document in British Columbia. The term has been used to describe a person’s wishes for their health care treatments, and particularly treatments they do not want in an end-of-life situation. The options available in British Columbia to address health care wishes for an end-of-life situation are a '''representation agreement''' or an '''advance directive'''. Both are ways to plan for health care decisions that may need to be made before you die. | A "living will" is not a legal document in British Columbia.
