Advance Directives are more than forms — they’re a way to make sure your care reflects your values, even if you can’t speak for yourself. They help your loved ones and care team understand your wishes clearly, so no one is left guessing in a moment of crisis.

We recommend exploring:

• State-specific Advance Directive forms (sometimes called Living Wills)
• Health Care Power of Attorney or Proxy forms
• Add-on worksheets that explain your personal care values
• Where to store and share your documents (and who needs a copy)

You don’t need to do it perfectly — just honestly, and in your own voice. A good plan is a gift to everyone around you.
