California Advance Healthcare Directive

Now, more than ever, it’s important to have a healthcare directive in place in the event that you get sick or become incapacitated and lose the ability to speak for yourself.

A comprehensive healthcare directive not only spells out your preferences for medical and end-of-life care (including your wishes regarding ventilation, feeding tubes, resuscitation, nursing home care, etc.), but this document also allows you to appoint a person you trust to make decisions and communicate with doctors if you are unable.

If you don’t already have a healthcare directive created as part of your estate plan, you can download this important legal document free of charge by filling out this form.

After creating your healthcare directive, make sure to give a copy to your healthcare agent, store it in a safe place, and let your loved ones know how to access the document in an emergency.
