An advance health care directive lets your physician, family, and friends know your health care preferences, including the types of special treatment you want or dont want at the end of life, your desire for diagnostic testing, surgical procedures, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and organ donation.
These signatures and the notarial act may be the linchpin between a document that is valid and legally binding, or not. Whether or not your home state calls for an official notarization by a notary public, every state in the U.S. requires your advance directive to be signed by witnesses.
The form must be signed by two qualified witnesses or acknowledged before a notary public. Give a copy of the signed and completed form to your physician, to any other health care providers you may have, to any health care institution at which you are receiving care, and to any health care agents you have named.
The 4 parts of the California statutory advance health care directive form Part 1: Medical power of attorney. Part 2: Living will. Part 3: Organ donation. Part 4: Choose a primary physician.
After you create your advance directive, you must sign and date your document and have it either signed by two witnesses or docHubd. (California allows digital advance directives, but they must be docHubd and must comply with strict requirements for digital signatures.)
