How To Make Your Advanced Healthcare Directive A Legal Document

How do I make my advanced healthcare directive a legal document?

To avoid any conflicts and any issues later on, the key is to make sure that your advanced healthcare directive is clear and unambiguous. You also want to make sure that it is signed. Ideally it should be signed and notarized and witnessed by a number of people, usually more than one. In those states that have a standard living will form, I would encourage you to use that form, and follow the instructions on that form.
