Even if a Living Will exists in the estate plan, difficult decisions still may occur for the health care proxy. As mentioned in the article The Need for a Living Will in Your Estate Plan, there is no way to predict the illness that may incapacitate an individual.

Consequently, the health care proxy for an incapacitated individual may face difficult decisions.
