I know that since I don't have many assets (a small savings account, some collectibles, my car) I only go to the trouble of letitng my parents know what my wishes would be. They know that E. gets my computer and my money goes to the Alzheimer's Association.
On that note, one of the biggest things you can do when you write up your living will/advanced directive is to make a card you put with your ID that says where your paperwork is located. You should also make sure that someone close to you knows your wishes, should you be incapacitated. You should also make sure that multiple people know if there is a DNR order. The best thing, regardless of where you go, would be to keep a copy on file somewhere with a close friend or relative who isn't likely to move around, and take a copy with you. List both locations on your emergency contacts card.
Also, if you are an organ donor, that should be explicitly stated somewhere on your advanced directive.
I haven't found anything that suggests that Iceland does not honor living wills. Most EU countries have a fairly progressive stance on death and dying (in the Netherlands, you can write out paperwork to outline under what circumstances you would want euthanasia).
