It also enables you to appoint trustees or guardians, if applicable. Advance Healthcare Directive - The term “health care directive” refers to documents such as a Living Will and a Durable Healthcare Power of Attorney, which enable you to exercise your legal right to accept or refuse life-sustaining procedures as well as other medical treatments. Other names used in various states for these documents include Medical Directive, Directive to Physicians, Declaration Regarding Health Care, Designation of Health Care Surrogate or Patient Advocate Designation. General Power of Attorney – Complete this form to give a person whom you choose (the agent) to give the power to manage your assets and financial affairs while you are alive. The document must be signed by you (the principal) while you have the required legal capacity to give your agent clear and concise instructions. The appointment may be for a fixed period and can be revoked by you at any time providing you still have the legal capacity to do so. A power of attorney ceases when you die. The executor named in your will then takes over the responsibilities of your estate.

Click this button and the form fields will be visible. By clicking on the appropriate form field, you will be able to enter the needed information. In some instances, the form field and the line will disappear after information is entered. In other cases, it will not. The form was created to function in this manner. V.
