Robert - Unfortunately, I can't help you with the Spanish part of your query, but the English-English portion is as follows: A living will is a type of advance directive.

There are a number of good web sites spelling out the whys and wherefores of completing advance directives; the link below is among the easiest to understand. Hope this was of some help!
