The documents are two very different things altogether.
A simple will determines how your assets will be distributed after your death. It also appoints an executor for the estate.
A living will, by contrast, ia a document that sets out guidelines for dealing with lifesustaining medical procedures in the eventuality of the signatory's sudden debilitation. Living wills would, for example, inform medical staff not to provide extraordinary life-preserving procedures on their bodies if they are incapable of expressing themselves and suffering from an incurable and terminal condition.
