What is an Advanced Directive?
Advance directive is the general term that refers to the various documents that could include a living will, instruction directive, health care proxy or health care power of attorney.
Every adult should have an advance directive in which you explain the type of health care you do or do not want when you can’t make your own decisions. You should also appoint someone who can speak for you to make sure your wishes are carried out.

Join us for a tutorial on how to complete a Living Will form. The tutorial will include step-by-step instructions, tools, and best practices to complete a Living Will. We will discuss what steps to take after the form is completed.
A Living Will outlines the medial care and preferences at end-of-life during a terminal condition or persistent vegetative state. The Living Will does not appoint an Agent. You would need a Medical Power of Attorney to appoint an Agent to speak and make medical decisions on your behalf when you are unable to communicate.
