Obama and Living Wills

Evidently President Obama recently answered a question at an AARP meeting on the topic of living wills, and reported that he and his wife have them. (Here is a cite.) I also just saw a press release from the Better Business Bureau, mentioning the importance of a living will.

I suppose any publicity for estate planning is good publicity, but let me reiterate one of the earliest themes from this blog: powers of attorney >>>> living wills (at least in Illinois). A few previous posts on this subject:
