Advance directive

An advance directive is a legal form you fill out. It says what kinds of medical care you want if you aren't able to make decisions for yourself. It tells your family and your doctor what to do if you're badly hurt or have a serious illness that keeps you from saying what you want.

  • Medical power of attorney. This is also called a durable power of attorney for health care.
