Download Your State's Advance Directive (National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization)

A living will allows you to document your wishes concerning medical treatments at the end of life.

A medical power of attorney (or healthcare proxy) allows you to appoint a person you trust as your healthcare agent (or surrogate decision maker), who is authorized to make medical decisions on your behalf.

CaringInfo provides free advance directives and instructions for each state that can be opened as a PDF (Portable Document Format) file.
