An Advance Directive , also known as Health Care Directive or Living Will , is a document that allows you to state your wishes regarding the use of life prolonging medical treatment.
A Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care is a document that identifies who will speak as your agent (spokesperson) when you are unable to speak for yourself.
Let us, Community Alliance, and the Fourth District Missouri Nurses help you identify and communicate your own health goals and values. We can help you prepare two documents that state your wishes when you cannot speak for yourself. These documents are being upheld in court, so they address both legal and ethical concerns.
Because witness and notary requirements vary among states, we recommend having these documents witnessed by two people who will not inherit from you. After they are notarized, they will be valid in any state in this country.
