Advance Directive Hub

An advance directive says what medical care you want when you cannot speak for yourself. Every state publishes a free statutory form. The form is not the hard part. The decisions are. This tool shows your state's signing rules and walks you through the decisions, so filling in the real form takes minutes instead of weeks.

This is a preparation worksheet and a plain summary of state rules, not a legal document and not legal advice. The legal document is your state's statutory form, signed the way your state requires.

How this works

1. 1

   Pick your state

   See exactly what your state requires: witnesses, notary, minimum age, and the official source.

2. 2

   Answer the questions

   Name your healthcare agent and decide on CPR, ventilators, feeding tubes, dialysis, comfort care, and organ donation.

3. 3

   Fill in the real form

   Print or download your worksheet, copy the answers onto your state’s free statutory form, and sign it as required.
