生前遗嘱 ~ Living Will?

Chinese to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
Original Text:
在这种情况下,应首先打破所谓的“全能银行”模式,而且,对关联度高的系统性金融机构提高资本标 准、增加自救和**“生前遗嘱”**等要求远不如通过强化事前结构化监管安排来降低金融体系关联性来得有效.

Translation
In addition, measures such as applying more stringent capital regulations to financial institutions with high levels of interdependency and implementing self-aid and “living will” requirements are far less effective than strengthening pre-structured regulatory measures in reducing the level of interrelatedness in the financial system.
Proposed translations (English)
5 +2 Living will
4 a will before death

You are right and “生前” may be a redundancy. However, some Chinese people also like to say “生前遗嘱” that unfortunately has a foul with the translation for Living Will. As you said, some people would rather say “张贴” than “发送”.

Clarification A document written by someone still legally capable requesting that they should be allowed to die if subsequently severely disabled or suffering terminal illness. The "生前" in 生前遗嘱 seem redundant. A will is of course written before one's death. I want to prevent mis-translated terms e,g posting an article on the Internet. It is not "張貼" the artcle but 發送 the artcle. From Babylon 发送到新闻群组或邮件单的信息 (因特网用语).

a will before death

According to the context, it cannot be translated as Living Will related to one's health care desires but instead, it actually means the directive or arrangement in case of a bankruptcy occurrence.
