Advance Medical Directive Forms
Make your end-of-life medical care wishes known to your family and your doctor with these Advance Medical Directive Forms.
An advance medical directive is a document in which you can specify the types of life-sustaining medical treatments, pain relief and surgical or other procedures you would want - or would not want - to receive in the case of imminent death from an irreversible condition, or in the case of a persistent vegetative state. An advance directive can speak for you when you can't. An advance directive is also sometimes called a personal directive or a living will, but it is not a Will.
