Make sure that your wishes are followed in the event that you become physically or mentally incapacitated, with this Advance Health-Care Directive (or “Living Will”) for the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, under the Advance Health-Care Directives Act.

With this form, you can appoint one or more persons to act on your behalf as your substitute decision maker, and you can give your decision maker detailed instructions and set out your wishes regarding what types of medical treatment you want or don’t want, in the event that you become unable to communicate those wishes due to illness or injury. You can also give end-of-life instructions on which treatments should be administered to you if you have a terminal illness or are in a permanent coma.

This Newfoundland and Labrador Advance Health-Care Directive is available in MS Word format, and is easy to fill in with your personal information. Each adult member of your household can prepare a Directive using the same form - no need to buy multiple copies.
