Unless she had a living will. Joan Rivers has been a beloved entertainer for almost 60 yrs. We all have read about her current, tragic health problems. I feel for her daughter. As the Mother of an only child, you don’t want to put the burden of such heavy decisions on one head. If she has a living will, she has made these decisions easier for her daughter.
This is what a living will can do:
planning ahead, you can get the medical care you want, avoid unnecessary suffering and relieve caregivers of decision-making burdens during moments of crisis or grief. You also help reduce confusion or disagreement about the choices you would want people to make on your behalf.

Please see a qualified Estate Planning Attorney while you are happy and healthy to get this important document completed.
